Try this:
[code]function strip_slashes($value)
{
// Check if Magic Quotes is enabled
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
// Check if string exists
if (is_string($value))
{
$result = stripslashes($value);
}
elseif (is_array($value))
{
$result = array_map('strip_slashes', $value);
}
}
else
{
$reslult = $value;
}
        return $result;
}[/code]

This works for me:
[code]<?php

function strip_slashes($value)
{
// Check if Magic Quotes is enabled
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
// Check if string exists
if (is_string($value))
{
return stripslashes($value);
}
elseif (is_array($value))
{
return array_map('strip_slashes', $value);
}
}
else
{
return $value;
}
}

echo strip_slashes("This\'s an string\'s");
?>[/code]

thank you so much that works fine...only problem i have now is when i use it on my form when i post this:
This\'s an string\'s

and then submit it will then do something like this in the input box:
This\\\'s an string\\\'s

is there a simple way of making this work?

see for yourself:

Do not put in backslashes manually when entering data, if you do, PHP will escape them with backslashes. Use the stripslashes function when you display the data.

Please post the code you're using to display the data.

ok...well i though the best way to strip slashes is before it is added to the database....
but you think i should do it when i am querying the results?

thanks destramic

[Destramic]

i think stripslashes should be done before data is added to the database...now we've got the function to work....how do i get it work on input boxes before going to mysql database...

as ive said if i type: This\'s an string\'s
on submit in the input field it will show: This\\\'s an string\\\'s

the code below will work for strings and arrays...but doesnt seem to work for $_POST and $_GET etc...anyone figure out why ?

[code]
<?php

function strip_slashes($value)
{
// Check if Magic Quotes is enabled
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
// Check if string exists
if (is_string($value))
{
return stripslashes($value);
}
elseif (is_array($value))
{
return array_map('strip_slashes', $value);
}
}
}

?>
