How to remove back slashes when stripslashes() and str_replace() won't work
Hello All;
I'm throwing in the towel and hoping and expert can help me with this one.
I'm trying to post a rather simple XML schema, but am having problems with the following line:
$xmlcontent = '<?xml version="1.0"?>';
when $xmlcontent actually get's assigned, it becomes: <?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
The people on the other end are saying the reason the transaction is failing is because of the back slashes. I've tried stripslashes() and str_replace(), but am having no luck. My magic quotes are set to on, but I thought stripslashes would override this.
Under the gun on this one, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Update - I just ran my transaction without encoding (even though encoding was specified) it prior to execution and it worked. I was a little curious why an escape character might cause the failure. Even so, I am still interested in knowing why I was unable to remove the slashes.
Many thanks,

If I turn them off, can I turn them back on? I have some queries that might blow-up if I don't?
Try setting magic quotes off while necessary:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0
// do your stuff
...
// after sending you can use:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(1
to restore the previous situation...
I HATE magic quotes and never use it. I recommend you turning it off as well...
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0
// do your stuff
...
// after sending you can use:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(1
to restore the previous situation...
