problem with display in forum

check out this link:

http://codewalkers.com/forum/index.php?action=displaythread&forum=phpcoding&id=1611&realm=default

Note that I can't get the line that reads

echo " selected="selected""; }

to display properly. I added a backslash, it shows when I try to edit. I added three, to try to trick it by writing \"selected"" but that didn't work either. Anyone know why?

I think I'm just slow today....I'm not seeing it. Could you post an example of what isn't working in this thread?

i was messing with it earlier and couldn't figure it out. if you click his link up there and look at his code, it is removing the first slash in his code.

it is transforming this:
echo " selected="selected"";
into this:
echo " selected="selected"";
