<div>
Use this.<br />

<pre><code id="code-626718">$str = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$str);

</div>


Use this.


$str = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$str);


<div>
$string = preg_replace(&quot;@\\$@&quot;,&quot;&quot;,$s<wbr />tring);
</div>


$string = preg_replace("@\\$@","",$string);

<div>
I think you can use rtrim function to remove last backslash character at the end of string. <br />
<br />
Example :<br />
<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-626719">$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';
$new_text = rtrim($text, '\');

//new_text now does not contain a back slash at the end of it
</code></pre>
</div>

<div>
this doesnt work..<br />
<br />
$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';<br />
$new_text = rtrim($text, '\');<br />
echo $new_text;<br />
<br />
<br />
how can I test the other above samples?
</div>


this doesnt work..

$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';
$new_text = rtrim($text, '\');
echo $new_text;


how can I test the other above samples?

<div>
This would be a test.<br />

<pre><code id="code-627018">$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
$new_text = $new_text[0];
echo $new_text;
</code></pre>
</div>


This would be a test.


$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
$new_text = $new_text[0];
echo $new_text;


<div>
it shows a blank page while testing
</div>


<div>
Try this:<br />

<pre><code id="code-627053">$text = 'A Christmas Carol \\';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
$new_text = $new_text[0];
echo $new_text;</code></pre>
</div>


Try this:


$text = 'A Christmas Carol \\';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
$new_text = $new_text[0];
echo $new_text;

<div>
Sorry, correction:<br />
<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-627054">$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
echo $new_text;</code></pre>
</div>


Sorry, correction:




$text = 'A Christmas Carol \';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
echo $new_text;

<div>
Oops, this time then!<br />

<pre><code id="code-627056">$text = 'A Christmas Carol \\';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
echo $new_text;
</code></pre>
</div>


Oops, this time then!


$text = 'A Christmas Carol \\';
$new_text = preg_replace('/\\$/','',$text);
echo $new_text;


<div>
ok the output of that shows as<br />
<br />
A Christmas Carol \<br />
<br />
and it should be<br />
<br />
A Christmas Carol
</div>


ok the output of that shows as

A Christmas Carol \

and it should be

A Christmas Carol

<div>
Ok, solved it - needs 4 backslashes!<br />

<pre><code id="code-627057">$text = 'A Christmas Carol \\';
print &quot;Before:&lt;pre&gt;$text&lt;/pre&gt;&quot;;
$text = preg_replace(&quot;/\\\\$/&quot;,'',$text);
print &quot;After:&lt;pre&gt;$text&lt;/pre&gt;&quot;;</code></pre>
</div>


Ok, solved it - needs 4 backslashes!


$text = 'A Christmas Carol \\';
print "Before:<pre>$text</pre>";
$text = preg_replace("/\\\\$/",'',$text);
print "After:<pre>$text</pre>";

<div>
Note this works too:<br />

<pre><code id="code-627058">$text = rtrim($text,'\\');
</code></pre>
</div>


Note this works too:


$text = rtrim($text,'\\');


<div>
rtrim will work if you also include the CR &amp;&nbsp;LF<br />

<pre><code id="code-627059">$text = &quot;A Christmas Carol \\&quot;;
var_dump($text);
$new_text = rtrim($text, &quot; \\\r\n&quot;);
var_dump($new_text);
</code></pre>
</div>


rtrim will work if you also include the CR & LF


$text = "A Christmas Carol \\";
var_dump($text);
$new_text = rtrim($text, " \\\r\n");
var_dump($new_text);


<div>
alright so for testing it just needs 4 backslashes but for the normal app it just needs 2 backslashes since its coming from mysql database.. correct?
