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
