Try stripslashes for this

 $emailbody = "hello \ its a testing\ string";
 echo $emailbody = stripslashes($emailbody);

Note that stripslashes only remove backslashes not forward

echo $emailbody =  str_replace("\\","",$emailbody);

Output

hello its a testing string

Here you go:

$emailbody = str_replace('\\', '', $emailbody);
