Description

Remove slashes from a string or array of strings.

This should be used to remove slashes from data passed to core API that expects data to be unslashed. Use this instead of stripslashes_deep().

Parameters

$value

(string|array) (required) String or array of strings to unslash.

Default: None

Return

(string|array) 

Unslashed $value.

Usage

 <?php wp_unslash( $value ); ?> 

Example

This function can be used in replacement of stripslashes_deep(). As it is a recursive function, when an array is given, it will remove slashes in all sub-arrays too.

$arr = array(
        "Is your name O\'reilly?",
        "Person\'s Assets"
       );

$arr = wp_unslash( $arr );
/*
 Outputs: 
 array(
      "Is your name O'reilly?",
      "Person's Assets"
 );
*/
