strip multiple backslashes

[WesleyA]

Hi there

 

I'm looking for a way to strip multiple backslashes. I'm able to strip up to 7 backslashes.

 

This is my code:

$url = stripslashes($url);
$url = stripslashes($url);
$url = stripslashes($url);

You read it well, I used it 3 times. I know the backslash is a delimiter so it is necessary to use it 3 times to strip one slash. But my goal is (like with other characters) to strip all.

 

How is PHP handling this?

I'm not sure what the point is, but you can run that in a while loop until the text doesn't change.

if wha you want is clean string no \ then use this :

$url="\sd\s\qq\\\\\\";
echo $url."<br>";
do{
$cleanurl=$url;
$url=stripslashes($url);
}while($cleanurl!=$url);
echo $url."<br>";
