Using stripslashes on a database row php

{$row['info']}

How do I use stripslashes() php function on this?

I've tried : stripslashes({$row['info']}), doesnt work and this: {stripslashes($row['info'])}

Neither work.

Do I have to use a $var first??

Thanks

Your question is somewhat confusing.

stripslashes() takes parameter and converts backslashed symbols to normal ones. more over, it does not affect the parameter. it returns stripped version.

so $result = stripslashes($source) or $row["info"] in your case.

It almost seems, that you are using heredoc syntax because of your {}. Question, is why? Are you seriously displaying your results like this?:

echo <<<my_results
Info: {$row['info']}
my_results;

Well, since that is cool way to do so then here is your fix:

$row_info = stripslashes($row['info']);
echo <<<my_results
Info: {$row_info}
my_results;

However, I do not recommend that approach. Rather do it like this:

echo 'Info:' . stripslashes($row['info']);

Because {stripslashes($row['info'])} doesn't work indeed and stripslashes({$row['info']}) is an anecdote!

$var = stripslashes($row['info']);

is more correct. Or in string, use it like this

echo "something".stripslashes($row['info'])." some more thingy";

stripslashes returns the modified string, leaving its argument unchanged. You have to assign the result to a variable:

$var = stripslashes($row['info']);

That said, why are you doing this? You almost certainly shouldn't be. There is no reason to strip slashes on data coming from the database, unless you've double-escaped the slashes when the data was inserted.
