PHP replace double backslashes "\\" to a single backslash "\"

Okay so im working on this php image upload system but for some reason internet explorer turns my basepath into the same path, but with double backslashes instead of one; ie:

C:\\Documents and Settings\\kasper\\Bureaublad\\24.jpg

This needs to become C:\Documents and Settings\kasper\Bureaublad\24.jpg.

Use the stripslashes function.

That should make them all single slashes.

Note that you may be running into PHP's Magic Quotes "feature" where incoming backslashes are turned to \\.

See https://www.php.net/magic_quotes
