stripslashes
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
stripslashes — Un-quotes a quoted string
Description
stripslashes
( 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.
Parameters
string- The input string.
Return Values
Returns a string with backslashes stripped off.
(\' becomes ' and so on.)
Double backslashes (\\) are made into a single
backslash (\).
Examples
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
<?phpfunction 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);// Outputprint_r($array);?>
The above example will output:
Array
(
[0] => f'oo
[1] => b'ar
[2] => Array
(
[0] => fo'o
[1] => b'ar
)
)
