WampServer

When we enter the comands for windows do we use one or two \\ slashes...
e:\\wamp\\www or
e:\wamp\www

I have seen some command lines with two slashes....

$dir['root'] = "e:\\wamp\\www\\date\\";

and why the two slashes, why not just one????????

Hi ibi. PHP syntax does not allow the \ character in strings singly because it is considered an escape character. To make a literal \ character in a string, you need to put two of them. See the PHP documentation for more info.

thanks for your comment.. in the wamp httpd.conf..... for windows os....
do we put the slashes forward or backward ...
directoryRoot "e:\xxxx\yyyyy"

linux is alway //////// and windows is \\\\\\\...
but does wamp always use the //// for it's syntax????
confused.... we should have one standard for win andlinux....
