quote

Syntax
string quote( string str [, string esc[, string surrounding_string]] )
Description

The quote function puts the specified string between quotation marks. It inserts the "\" (backslash) character as required to "quote" any occurrences of the characters in the second argument to indicate that they are taken literally.
