how to reverse back of mysql_escape_string function in php?

I am storing

[{
    "id": "a34da9b020ec86dc5a7832620082ed5d",
    "type": "img",
    "name": "1458561170282.jpg",
    "mime_type": "image/jpg",
    "path": "http://images.website.com/boxdata/asset22756/images/1458561170282.jpg?r=160321075523",
    "thumb": "http://images.website.com/boxdata/asset22756/images/thumb__1458561170282.jpg?r=160321075523",
    "short_link": "http://website.com/img1084109"
}]

in a MySQL database using mysql_escape_string function.

When I retrieve the data I have the following output:

[\n  {\n    \"short_link\" : \"http:\\\\/\\\\/website.com\\\\/img1085805\",\n    \"id\" : \"ca96c55e1aa76fbca17ee08cad7e5a15\",\n    \"thumb\" : \"http:\\\\/\\\\/images.website.com\\\\/boxdata\\\\/asset22114\\\\/images\\\\/thumb__chat_files_41.jpg?r=160421015318\",\n    \"type\" : \"img\",\n    \"path\" : \"http:\\\\/\\\\/images.website.com\\\\/boxdata\\\\/asset22114\\\\/images\\\\/chat_files_41.jpg?r=160421015318\",\n    \"name\" : \"chat_files_41.jpg\",\n    \"mime_type\" : \"image\\\\/jpg\"\n  }\n]

How can I convert my data back in the initial format?

Use PDO:

<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by passing an array of values */
$sql = 'INSERT INTO mytable (my_json_col) VALUES (:json_string)';
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY));
$sth->execute([':json_string' => '[{
  "id": "a34da9b020ec86dc5a7832620082ed5d",
  "type": "img",
  "name": "1458561170282.jpg",
  "mime_type": "image/jpg",
  "path": "http://images.website.com/boxdata/asset22756/images/1458561170282.jpg?r=160321075523",
  "thumb": "http://images.website.com/boxdata/asset22756/images/thumb__1458561170282.jpg?r=160321075523",
  "short_link": "http://website.com/img1084109"}]']);
// retrieve with fetch*
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id=:my_id';
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY));
$sth->execute([':my_id' => 1]); //my_id is the DB row id you want
$sth->fetchObject(); //this will give you a stdClass object with row names as properties
?>

Try this:

$correctString = nl2br(stripslashes($result));

By the way, you should use 

mysqli_real_escape_string ($connection ,$source )

instead of mysql_escape_string

Use stripslashes function to remove slashes.

$string = stripslashes($escaped_string);
