How to stripslashes function work?

 Published April 23,2010 in PHP

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

$str = "Is your name O\'reilly?"; // Outputs: Is your name O'reilly? echo stripslashes($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

 

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 ) )
