#5354 — variable path lose slashs when used in an alert

variable $temp is a path
C:\www\site\test\folder\img.jpg

if I write 
echo $temp;
ok I have all the path
---------

but if I use same variable in an alert I haven't more the correct path;
haven't the \ slashs

echo"<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "alert('$temp')";
echo "</script>"; 

I tested also string but is equal
$temp=(string)$temp;


is there a solution?

In most systems and scripting languages, the back slash '\' is an "escape" 
sign, for example \n is treated as new line, \t as tab, and this is what your 
javascript is doing and for a backslash to work, you need to use a double 
backslash '\\'.

In addition to what //Aho said, you could use a normal forward slash as path
separator, see
