Question

I have the following text

I want to remove the esc

Answer 1

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

<?php
$string = '\\\\vct=140\\\\Araignée du soir espoir.';
echo $string, "\n";
echo stripslashes($string), "\n";

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.
