## Example

`

     string stripslashes ( string $str )

`

## Description

Un-quotes a quoted string. Note: If magic_quotes_sybase is on, no backslashes are stripped off but two apostrophes are replaced by one instead. An example use of stripslashes() is when the PHP directive magic_quotes_gpc is on (it's on by default), and you aren't inserting this data into a place (such as a database) that requires escaping. For example, if you're simply outputting data straight from an HTML form.

## Return Values

Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes (\\) are made into a single backslash (\).
