Hello,

I am a beginner in PHP. I need help with the function preg_replace.

I am trying to remove the backslashes ( \ ) from a string that is submitted
by the user.

It is submitted in a form but it adds \ before the quotation marks ( " ).

Will this change if I use the GET method instead of POST.

If not can you please tell me how to use preg_replace to remove the
backslashes.

Don't, use stripslashes() instead.

Here is a nice little hack that I use.

<plaintext><?php

print_r($_REQUEST);

function stripInput(&$ar) {
        $ar = stripslashes($ar);
}
if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
        array_walk_recursive($_REQUEST, 'stripInput');
        array_walk_recursive($_POST,    'stripInput');
        array_walk_recursive($_GET,     'stripInput');
}

print_r($_REQUEST);

?>

you should see the difference
