ereg_replace & stripslashes ?

[Anon]

I'm having problem with replacing multiple slashes with blank space. I've tried to use both stripslashes function and ereg_replace but the stripslashes function can't strip all the slashes while the ereg_replace function that I've written only can do for even number slashes. Help ?

Senario 1:

$string6 = "FD\\\\\\\'\trt\\\";
$string7 = stripslashes("FD\\\\\\\'\trt\\\");
echo "String6 : ".ereg_replace( "[](*)*", "", $string6);
echo "String7 : $string7";

output :
String6 : FD'trt
String7 : FD\\'trt\

Senario 2 ( add one slash at the back ):

$string6 = "FD\\\\\\\'\trt\\\\";
echo "String6 : ".ereg_replace( "[](*)*", "", $string6);

output :
Parse error: parse error in /xxx/xxx/xxx/ereg_replace.php3 on line 16

And it is same goes with stripslashes function, it shows the same error after I've add one slash at the back of the string ( after 'trt' ).

Any clue?

Double backslashes are converted to a single backslash by StripSlash function. So your string will be grouped into two's and converted into single slash.

Continue stripslash your string untill you don't have a slash left in your string.(you can check that using ereg function). use new variables everytime you stripslash your revised string.

I don't see any need of ereg_replace for this problem.
