newb: Expain me this

[johnny]

I have the following code:

exec ("find /C \"$term\" *", $command_output);

Can you tell me how this string: "find /C \"$term\" *"
will appear after excaping characters?

Thank you

Each \ in conjunction with the next characte gets replaced by the next
character.

Also, you should be using the escapeshellarg() function on variables
passed to shell commands, especially if they contain user input. Even
register globals could be a potential problem if you're not expecting
user input.
