Can't treat backslashes as text in PHP by absorbation on 07-31-2006 at 04:47 PM
Simple really, but I am not the best syntax expert and I need the help nice and quick please.
code:It is that simple. I can't treat backslashes as text in a string no matter what I try and do. I am trying to get rid of backslashes from a variable and this is the only simple way I can think of. So the syntax fix would help me a lot. Thanks a bunch of bananas
$media = str_replace('\', '', $media);
.

You have to use a double backslash, since backslash is an escape character used for stuff like new lines (\n), so just '\\' will do nicely.

I already tried that, and it still produces the same result 
. I am a bit confused on what to do here, nothing seems to work.
Edit: Found the solution, another variable was messing with the $media one. I moved it up the page and now it works .

Just use stripslashes()
