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

foreach ($your_array as $key=>$value) {
$your_array[$key] = stripslashes($value);
}

---

or for many levels array use this :

function stripslashes_deep($value)
{
    $value = is_array($value) ?
                array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) :
                stripslashes($value);

    return $value;
}


$array = array("f\\'oo", "b\\'ar", array("fo\\'o", "b\\'ar"));
$array = stripslashes_deep($array);

print_r($array);

Answer 2

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.
