note 94758 added to function.stripslashes

This is a simple function to remove the slashes added by functions such as magic_quotes_gpc and mysql_escape_string etc. <?php function no_magic_quotes($query) { $data = explode("\\",$query); $cleaned = implode("",$data); return $cleaned; } // I'm using mysql_escape_string as a simple example, but this function would work for any escaped string. $query = "It's amaizing! Who's to say this isn't a simple function?"; $badstring = mysql_escape_string($query); echo '<b>Without funtion:</b> '.$badstring; echo '<br><br>'; echo '<b>With function:</b> '.no_magic_quotes($badstring); ?> Output: Without funtion: It\'s amaizing! Who\'s to say this isn\'t a simple function? With function: It's amaizing! Who's to say this isn't a simple function? ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 196.25.255.214 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94758 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94758 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94758 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
