str_replace() produces different output on windows and on linux:

php versions:
    windows: 4.1.1
    linux: 4.0.5

situation:
    I wanted to delete all quotations in a string, that came from GET query.

script:
    on linux:
$getQuery = str_replace("\"", "", $getQuery);
    on windows:
$getQuery = str_replace("\\\"", "", $getQuery);

conclusion:
    On windows, the character [\"] is not seen as one character but as two.

???

On linux $getQuery = str_replace("\"", "", $getQuery);
On windows $getQuery = str_replace("\"", "", $getQuery);

\\ means \ \" means " so \\\" means \".

I know, what the escape characters mean.

The problem was, that I wanted to replace all quotations in a string which worked on linux with \" but on windows I had to write \\\" to achieve the replacement!

You're probably messing with different Magic Quotes settings.
This is really not a bug, you're doing something wrong.

You're right. It was my fault. The magic quotes settings were different.

I'm sorry having reported it as bug and thus stealing your time.
