PHP Backslash Issue

Question

I'm trying to pass a username with domain in PHP, and am having issues with backslashes either being completely stripped or "doubled up". I've tried a ton of different fixes, and nothing is working.

$domain = "domain";
$username = "username";
$adfs = stripslashes($domain.'\\'.$username);
$dynamicsClient = new dynamicsClient($adfs, $password, $URL, 1);

What I want as the end result is domain\username.

Seems simple enough, but because of escaping, I can't get this to work. I'm new to PHP, so there must be a fix.

Please help.

I did that, and I end up with domain\\username. It doubles up. :( — Mayhem

This should work for you:

$domain = "domain";
$username = "username";
$adfs = $domain.'\\'.$username;

@Mayhem Did you used echo or where do you use it?

I'm passing it to a function:

@Mayhem Please update your question with the function so we can see how you use it!

$dynamicsClient = new dynamicsClient($adfs, $password, $URL, 1); If I use $adfs = stripslashes($domain.'\\'.$username);, I get no slashes. If I use $adfs = $domain.'\\'.$username; I get two slashes.

You are stripping the slash that you've properly escaped. Change:

 $adfs = stripslashes($domain.'\\'.$username);

To:

 $adfs = $domain.'\\'.$username;
