Hi,  
As a developer I do a fair amount of JSP and Java development and want to learn PHP. The problem I have with it is that you have to backslash all the quotes in the html. This reminds me when I started out doing servlets and had to backslash quotes(this was before I found jsp) this is very annoying. Does anyone know a way around this.

Thanks
