    your example has $website_url before and after, not that im 100% sure how to do it but if your trying to remove the / then i think it should be done like this...

    
$website_url = str_replace('/', '', $stripped_url);

    Yes, stripslashes would make more sense.

    Well if sastro's code was what he needed, then stripslashes() doesn't make sense at all.

    Well, I have the habit of reading titles and glazing over code in posts. But yeah you're right.

    Removing slashes you'd use stripslashes, for replaceing backslashes with forward slashes, you'd use sastros :S

    To ammend Sastros code, You should use 'DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR' for true portability

    $website_url = str_replace('\\', DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR, $website_url);
