Question

I’d like to replace more than one forward slash with one forward slash.

Examples:

this/is//an//example -> this/is/an/example

///another//example//// -> /another/example/

example.com///another//example//// -> example.com/another/example/

Thanks!

EDIT: This will be used to fix URLs that have more than one forward slash.

Answer 1

try

preg_replace('#/+#','/',$str); 

or

preg_replace('#/{2}#','/',$str);

Tips: use str_replace for such a simple replacement AS it

replace all occurrences of the search string with the replacement string

str_replace('/','/',$str);
