Sorry for asking so many questions in this forum today

How can I ereg_replace a backslash? My script is outputting \" when it should be outputting "

Can I use ereg_replace to change \" to "

if so....how?

PHP Code:

$example = ereg_replace('\"', '"', $example) 


won't work

$example = stripslashes($example);

PHP already thought of that, it's actually a product from PHP magic quotes that adds the slashes, but you can turn that off in the php.ini file.

shared hosting..... so no option to do that.

Will this strip ALL slashes, or just backslashes??

because forward slashed I need...

EDIT

I now realize its backslashes only, thanks a lot, its working now. All these posts in the php forum has paid off, my script its pretty much working now.

Only backslashes \

PHP finally got smart and is disabling and removing magic quotes gpc in PHP 6

You might be able to disable this using htaccess flag:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
