Yes, but a \ doesn't have any (well not much) effect in a single quoted string. 

They only really come into effect in a double quoted string.

Although as with most things in PHP, nothing is quite what it seems :

var_dump('foo\foo' === 'foo\\foo') => true
var_dump('foo\foo' === "foo\\foo") => true
