Description
string
stripslashes ( string str)
Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes (\\) are made into a single backslash (\).
An example use of stripslashes() is when the PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is on (it's on by default), and you aren't inserting this data into a place (such as a database) that requires escaping. For example, if you're simply outputting data straight from an HTML form.
Example 1. A stripslashes() example <?php
$str = "Is your name O\'reilly?";
// Outputs: Is your name O'reilly?
echo stripslashes($str);
?> |
