There are a couple functions that could do this for you.
Probably the fastest one for your example would be as follows.
$NewString = str_replace('%20', ' ', $value); // Removes the %20 characters
$NewString = str_replace '\', '', $NewString); // Removes \ character
echo $NewString;

Hello,
Forgive me if this is an obvious question, but I am passing a value (a
string with spaces and quotations) back in a query string
and do not know how to strip the extra characters that have been placed
into it.
For example.
$value = "Sarah's Test Page"
query string = mypage.php?value=Sarah\\\'s%20Test%20Page
echo $value = Sarah\\\'s%20Test%20Page
What is the command to strip out these extra space and escape characters
so that when I echo $value it prints out
"Sarah's Test Page"?
Much Appreciated,
s.
