stripslashes

  • You’ll rarely need to strip slashes in Ruby, since there is no equivalent of PHP’s magic_quotes_gpc directive. Stripping slashes would be done with String#gsub to do substitution just like addslashes.

    PHP

    $result = stripslashes('I can\\\'t imagine \\"that\\"!\\0');
var_export($result);
// => 'I can\'t imagine "that"!\000'

    Ruby

    string = "I can\\'t imagine \\\"that\\\"!\\\000"
p string.gsub("\\", "")
# => "I can't imagine \"that\"!\000"
