Thank you for the report. The \s is not a valid escape sequence in PHP so there is no need for escaping the backslash nor switching to single quotes. You only need to escape a backslash if it would otherwise be regarded as part of an escape sequence, e.g. \\n vs. \n. You can see a list of the escape sequences here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.double
