为什么即使在使用stripslashes后，额外的斜线也不会被巧妙地移除？

I'm using smarty template engine. In smarty code I've used stripslashes function to remove the extra slashes appearing in a string but the slashes are not getting removed. How shold I resolve this issue?

Following is the string and the code that I'm using to remove these slashes:

String : {assign var="brand" value="Lindeman's"}

The code I written : {$brand|stripslashes}

The output I'm getting is : Lindeman\\'s

The output should actually be : Lindeman's

How should I achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

If desired output for you is Lindeman's and you set your string as:

{assign var="brand" value="Lindeman's"}

to display it, you should simply use:

{$brand}

You don't need to use any stripslashes here because you want to display the same string as you have inside your variable

EDIT

And even when I use

{$brand|stripslashes}

I get the exactly same output: Lindeman's so probably you do something wrong or your input string is different.
