I''m porting some code from PHP into Rails; is there an equivalent of the PHP "stripcslashes" function in Ruby/Rails? http://us.php.net/stripcslashes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

(I.e., what are you trying to use stripslashes for?) There may be a better way to accomplish what you''re trying to do. The reason I ask is that I''ve often seen stripslashes used when interpolating into an SQL query string, which is a great way to set yourself up for SQL injection. A safe way to do the same thing is using bind variables. For (a simple, better-accomplished-via-a-straight-up-find) example: sql = "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE foo_id = :foo_id" id = 3 Foo.find_by_sql([sql, {:foo_id => id}]) If you''re not interpolating into an SQL query string please ignore the above. I still think there''s a better way to do whatever you''re trying to accomplish with stripslashes. What are you trying to do?

Hi, Jamal. I ended up using the delete function and you are right, it
wasn''t hard :-) I wasn''t sure what the PHP function did
exactly since
I''m not a PHP developer but I ended up doing something like this and I
believe it duplicates the PHP functionality:
data.delete(''\r'').delete(''\n'').delete("\\")

But you must understand that \n is like <br /> \\ is like \ \t is like TABKEY So you might want to think about that :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, Jamal. I had to remove the first 2 delete calls since it was deleting all my "r" and "n" characters (e.g. notes became otes). I wasn''t sure how I could delete carriage-returns and new-lines instead of r and n characters.? For example, I tried both, \\r and \r with delete. Anyway, for now, I think just removing back-slashes will do the trick based on this description of the PHP function (and what I think, is our requirement :-) http://us.php.net/stripcslashes Thanks for all your help!
