You're not using the function correctly. You've got the search string and
replace string tied up into one input there. They need to be separate.
$filevalue = preg_replace('\\', '/', $filevalue);
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
However you should consider using the str_replace() function in your case
since you aren't doing any pattern matching and it's a lot faster than
preg_replace().
$filevalue = str_replace('\\'. '/', $filevalue);
