How can I remove escape characters using PHP?

Question

I have the following text

$text = \"\\\\vct=140\\\\Araignée du soir espoir,araignée du matin,espoir du matin.\"

I want to remove the esc

Answer 1

As far as I can tell stripslashes works as per the manual:

Which outputs:

\\vct=140\\Araignée du soir espoir.
\vct=140\Araignée du soir espoir.

Sequence \\ is in list of escape sequences for special characters so you got to escape slashes twice.
