Replacing two backslashes with one?

Hi. I need to do a simple ereg replace to have // change to /.

I tried a couple of options:

$filesRequested = ereg_replace('\{2}', '\', $filesRequested);

$filesRequested = ereg_replace('\\', '\', $filesRequested);

Neither wrosk. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Why can't you use stripslashes()?

Dominique

You can use stripSlashes() as Dominique said.
Or $new_string = str_replace('\\', '\', $old_string);

str_replace is faster than ereg_replace.

btw: your code should work like
ereg_replace('\\\\','\',... )
it's logicaly 🙂)

Thanks to both of you! It's working beautifully now. :-)
