Un-quotes a quoted string.
Note:
If magic_quotes_sybase is on, no backslashes are stripped off but two apostrophes are replaced by one instead.
An example use of stripslashes() is when the PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is on (it was on by default before PHP 5.4), 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.
The input string.
Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes (\\) are made into a single backslash (\).
<?php $str = "Is your name O\'reilly?"; // Outputs: Is your name O'reilly? echo stripslashes($str); ?>
Note:
stripslashes() is not recursive. If you want to apply this function to a multi-dimensional array, you need to use a recursive function.
<?php function stripslashes_deep($value) { $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value); return $value; } // Example $array = array("f\\'oo", "b\\'ar", array("fo\\'o", "b\\'ar")); $array = stripslashes_deep($array); // Output print_r($array); ?>
The above example will output:
Array ( [0] => f'oo [1] => b'ar [2] => Array ( [0] => fo'o [1] => b'ar ) )
