stripslashes — Un-quotes a quoted string
$string
) : string
Un-quotes a quoted string.
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.
string
The input string.
Returns a string with backslashes stripped off.
(\'
becomes '
and so on.)
Double backslashes (\\
) are made into a single
backslash (\
).
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 multi-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 ) )
