[Resolved] stripslashes

how can i add strip slashes to the following code:

$cart =  (unserialize (base64_decode ($_COOKIE['cart'])));
@ extract($cart);

nothing i have tried so far has worked

$cart = stripslashes(unserialize (base64_decode ($_COOKIE['cart'])));

since you probably want to apply stripslashes once you have decoded the string and then unserialized it, put it outermost.

Actually, $cart looks like an array. You'd need to loop through the elements and stripslashes.

ok, i've changed the code it bit - it would make sense (i think) to strip slashes before storing the data in a cook.

i'm now using the code below with two echos for testing but both echos give the same output without the slashes removed

echo $_POST['town'];
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) 
{ 
    $value = stripslashes($value); 
}
echo $_POST['town'];

You have to replace the value in the array or create a new array.

echo $_POST['town'];
$new = array();
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) 
{ 
    $new[$key] = stripslashes($value); 
}
echo $new['town'];

Thanks very much for your help. Its all working now.
