Simple: use double backslash, backslash in php denotes and escape character.

So you will use a backslash to escape the backslash. grin

why not use relative paths?

e.g

<?php

$main_path = "";
$include_path = "includes/";

?>

That is not even his problem, backslash just before the single or double will escape the quote there by giving error, so he needs a fix to that even if he applies your way, which truly will help him when uploading to a host

Thats right, using relative paths is a good coding practise.

And he should use the slash / instead of back slash \?
