Have you tried the stripslashes() function? That will "unescape"
characters that have been escaped.

I use a php page which is supposed to return records from a
database table limited to the servername specicified in a drop down
menu.
A servername may contain a backslash e.g. Server1\SQL1.
When this data is returned from the URL e.g. $server = $_GET
['server'];
The name is returned as Server1\\SQL1, so the search fails.
I've tried using a regular expression to remove one of the
backslashes:
$server = ereg_replace("\\", "\", $server);
but I can't get this to work either.
Any suggestions welcome, I'm running out of ideas.
