    (PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    stripslashes — Un-quotes a quoted string

    Description

    stripslashes(string $string): string

    Un-quotes a quoted string.

    stripslashes() can be used if 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
        )

)
