stripslashes

(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

stripslashes --  Un-quote string quoted with addslashes()

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);
?>

Note: stripslashes() is not recursive. If you want to apply this function to a mutli-dimensional array, you need to use a recursive function.

Example 2. Using stripslashes() on an array

<?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
        )

)
