How do I remove slashes from a string within a variable?

Question

The below code outputs product SKUs from my database exactly as they appear.

$sku = $product->get_sku();

Returns:

*BC01-BL/BL*

Given this context, how can I ensure that forward slashes are removed from $sku ? I've tried using stripslashes() but this does not work...

Answer 1

If you trying to achieve this *BC01-BLBL* , then you can use the str_replace() function:

<?php

$str = '*BC01-BL/BL*';
$str = str_replace("/", "", $str);
echo $str;
//returns *BC01-BLBL*
