PHP replace double backslashes "\\" to a single backslash "\"

Question

Okay so im working on this php image upload system but for some reason internet explorer turns my basepath into the same path, but with double backslashes instead of one; ie:

C:\\Documents and Settings\\kasper\\Bureaublad\\24.jpg

This needs to become C:\Documents and Settings\kasper\Bureaublad\24.jpg.

Answer 1

try this

That should make them all single slashes.

Answer 2

Have you considered the stripslashes() function?

Answer 3

Note that you may be running into PHP's Magic Quotes "feature" where incoming backslashes are turned to \\.
