Escape Characters in PHP

Using Escape Slash:

He said: "Hello, I like playing video game!"

Not Using Escape Slash:

He said: Hello, I like playing video game!

The escape slash (\) in PHP allows us to include special characters like quotes inside strings without ending the string prematurely. Without using the escape character, we need to carefully manage single or double quotes to prevent errors. It ensures that the string is interpreted correctly by PHP while keeping variable interpolation intact.
