It depends on using simple or double quotes.
If a string is writen between double quotes, php do some
processing
previous to pass the string to the function; in particular
every
single backslash is removed, since backslash is a special
character in
a double quoted string used for: avoiding variable
interpolation,
inserting double quotes in the string, writing control
characters like
n, r, b, etc.
