need so help with string manipulation

[jim.davidson]

I need to change a substr of a string from \'on\'  to 'on' the string could different lenght each time.

 

I tried this

$query = strtr($_SESSION['email_query'],"\'","'");

 

but it returns "on" and I need 'on'

 

Any help will be appreciated

It's not clear to me what you are asking. but if i had the string \'on\' i would:

 

$string = \'on\';

$fixstring = str_replace("\", "",$string);

 

$fixstring should = 'on'

 

or am I missing what youre saying?

Use the stripslashes funciton:

<?php
$str = "\'on\'";
echo stripslashes($str);
?>
