Before running `str_replace` do `var_dump($text)` to make sure it has what you expect in it. — Styphon, May 22 '14 at 10:25

Your replacement code seems to work fine. The first line of your code probably returns something else than what you expect

$text         = '../image.png';
echo $text . "\n";
$text         = addslashes($text);
$text         = str_replace('../','http://storage.com/',$text);
echo $text . "\n";

This code outputs

../image.png
http://storage.com/image.png
