How to stripslashes all the items of an array at once?

Question

I need to stripslashes all items of an array at once.

Any idea how can I do this?

Answer 1

For uni-dimensional arrays, array_map will do:

$a = array_map('stripslashes', $a);

For multi-dimensional arrays you can do something like:

$a = json_decode(stripslashes(json_encode($a)), true);

This last one can be used to fix magic_quotes, see this comment.
