$url = preg_replace( "/\\/", "/", $var);

Workaround:

$url = preg_replace( "/\\134/", "/", $var);
 [1999-10-28 12:42 UTC] andrei at cvs dot php dot net 
This has been fixed in CVS.
Note:
Since PHP does its own backslashing in strings, in order for your
pattern to work properly it would need to look like:
"/\\\\/"
