Description:
------------
When using stripslashes function on a string with \0, the 0 character which should have returned, doesnt returned!!!

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$x1 = 'a\b\c\22\0||TYPE';

$x2 = 'a\b\c\22\13||TYPE';

echo stripslashes($x1);
echo "<BR>";
echo stripslashes($x2);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
abc220||TYPE
abc2213||TYPE

Actual result:
--------------
abc22||TYPE
abc2213||TYPE

Next time use var_dump() which is better. Looks like \0 is intepreted as NULL byte.
<?php
$x1 = 'a\b\c\22\0||TYPE';

$x2 = 'a\b\c\22\13||TYPE';

var_dump(stripslashes($x1));
echo "\n";
var_dump(stripslashes($x2));
echo "\n";
?>
Output :
string(12) "abc22||TYPE"

string(13) "abc2213||TYPE"
