How can I removing escape characters using php?
<p>I have the following text </p>

<pre><code>$text = "\\vct=140\\AraignÃ©e du soir espoir,araignÃ©e du matin,espoir du matin."
</code></pre>

<p>I want to remove the escape characters using php..I do not want to use stripslashes since it is server dependent.. </p>

<p>I want to remove the '\' before the '\vct=140' and the '\' before '\Arai....' 
How can I remove them from the string?</p>
