escaping forward slashes

Hey, i have managed to escape most of this echo but I cannot figure out the forward slashes that come before and after $dir.

Anybody know how i escape forward slashes.

Code:

echo "[ - <a href='". /$dir/ ."game_play.php'>Play</a> - ]"; // Displayed if connection OK.

\/

(backslash, works with most characters)

I tried that one but it gave me an error:

PHP:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /var/www/html/game/game_status.php on line 12

PHP:

echo "[ - <a href='/". $dir ."/game_play.php'>Play</a> - ]"; // Displayed if connection OK.

?? What do you mean by escape the forward slashes?

what's it look like and what's it supposed to look like?

PHP:

echo "[ - <a href='\/" . $dir  ."\/game_play.php'>Play</a> - ]"; // Displayed if connection OK.
