Escape Character

Escape characters are special characters, that introduce a special meaning, for example when redacting an escape sequence.

Escape characters are often generating a special sequence to escape themselves and allow their literal meaning to be expressed.

In PHP’s strings and HEREDOC, the escape character is the backslash : “".

<?php

echo "<a href="https://www.exakat.io/" />";

?>
