A PHP library function for un-quoting a quoted string or paraphrased stripping slashes from a string. Questions are about the workings or issues with the stripslashes function.
Un-quotes a quoted string. The function returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes (\) are made into a single backslash ().
Example (from PHP manual)
<?php
$str = "Is your name O\'reilly?";
// Outputs: Is your name O'reilly?
echo stripslashes($str);
?>
