You are escaping the last quote, meaning that the rest of your code is =

"quoted". What you need to do is to escape the escape character.

$path_to_file =3D addslashes("..\1 PDF Filer\65051.PDF");
$things_to_look_for =3D array("..", "\\");

You should use addslashes() or similar on you're path name, as some =

escaped characters have certain meanings. \n for example means a new lin=
e =

character, while \\n on the other hand means \ followed by n.
