stripslashes()

If you can teach stripslashes() using stripslashes on Amit's board, you know it. If you only know the heading, you don’t.

For stripslashes(), a .php page is in play. Don’t blame it until you have traced stripslashes on Amit's board.

Without stripslashes(), a small live site gets messy and stripslashes on Amit's board is hard to trust.

stripslashes() shows up in a small live site. Name stripslashes on Amit's board, not “a real-world scenario”.

Don’t do this with stripslashes() — copy-pasting stripslashes without a dry-run. Interviewers spot it in ten seconds.

Place stripslashes() next to nearby PHP work — one stripslashes step Amit can write from memory is the link.

Close stripslashes() with: “If I skip it, stripslashes on Amit's board goes wrong like this: copy-pasting stripslashes without a dry-run.”

Exam tip

Say stripslashes() in one breath, then one stripslashes step Amit can write from memory, then copy-pasting stripslashes without a dry-run.

Example

<?php
// stripslashes()
$scores = [80, 90, 70];
$avg = array_sum($scores) / count($scores);
echo "avg=" . number_format($avg, 1) . "\n";
foreach ($scores as $s) {
  if ($s >= 80) echo "high: $s\n";
}

stripslashes(): scores array, print avg, then high marks. Say the output.

Short notes

Defstripslashes() — Amit uses it for stripslashes on Amit's board in a small live site.
Rulestripslashes() → one stripslashes step Amit can write from memory.
Rememberstripslashes() + a .php page (a small live site).
Usestripslashes() in a small live site (stripslashes on Amit's board).
Trapstripslashes() — copy-pasting stripslashes without a dry-run.
Exstripslashes() → stripslashes on Amit's board.
