How can I prevent double slashes in my database entries when using a dropdown menu to create a chain in PHP?

To prevent double slashes in database entries when using a dropdown menu to create a chain in PHP, you can use the stripslashes() function to remove any extra slashes before inserting the data into the database. This function will help sanitize the input and prevent the issue of double slashes. 

// Get the selected value from the dropdown menu
$selected_value = $_POST['dropdown_menu'];

// Remove any extra slashes from the selected value
$selected_value = stripslashes($selected_value);

// Insert the sanitized value into the database
// Your database query here
