not clear with stripslash() functionality
<p>I am new in PHP world. While going through couple of functions i came across stripslash()
I am not clear about it's benefit. Gone through couple of google link but still it's benefit is not clear.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
    $array=array("a"=&gt;"0","b"=&gt;"1","c"=&gt;"2");
    print_r ($array);
    print "\n";

    foreach($array as $key=&gt;$value)
    {
            print "Before stripslash : $value\n";
            stripslashes($value);
            print "After stripslash : $value\n";
    }
    print_r ($array);
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Output:</p>

<p>Array
(
    [a] => 0
    [b] => 1
    [c] => 2
)</p>

<p>Before stripslash : 0
After stripslash : 0
Before stripslash : 1
After stripslash : 1
Before stripslash : 2
After stripslash : 2</p>

<p>Array
(
    [a] => 0
    [b] => 1
    [c] => 2
)</p>
