the code:

produces this:

\\wusais\\Intranets\\Intranets\\fpdb\\pdf\\weinig05882.pdf

close but the end is still killing me...


If the string is coming from DB as you have said, you shouldn't be assigning it to $var, but fetch it from the database instead, like this:

$rc = mysql_query("SELECT .....");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($rc);
$var = $row['fieldname'];

echo strtr($var, array('\\' => '\\\\'));
