Synopsis

    string stripslashes ( string str )

The stripslashes() function is the opposite of addslashes(): it removes one set of \-escapes from a string. For example:

    $string = "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay!";
    $a = addslashes($string);
    // string is now "I\'m a lumberjack and I\'m okay!"

    $b = stripslashes($a);
    // string is now "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay!"
