php echo remove slashes from url [duplicate]

Question

I have experienced a strange problem with the slideshow on our corporate site and i haven't figured what is whong. After Joomla updated to 3.7.2 in place where php echo the url i have the following:

Instead of:

style="background-image: url("images/sliders/slide-1.jpg");

It outputs:

style="background-image: url(" images sliders slide-1.jpg");

The script for the slideshow has the following Vars:

$ctaImg = $helper->get('img');

$ctaBackground  = 'background-image: url("'.$ctaImg.'"); background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover;';

and the line that applies the img on background-image url is:

<div class="acm-cta style-5 <?php echo $helper->get('style'); ?> <?php if($ctaImg): echo 'bg-image-large'; endif; ?>" <?php if($ctaImg): echo 'style="'.$ctaBackground.'"'; endif; ?> >

Using var-dump i have the following output:

<!-- Var1: string(33) "images/sliders/slide-1.jpg"
 Var2: string(143) "background-image: url("images/sliders/slide-1.jpg"); background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover;"
 -->

Elements:

Sources:

In Developer Tools in Chrome at Elements tab, slashes are missing from url but in Sources the url is correct. It drives me crazy....

To fix that you just need to remove quotes from background-image: url("")

In inspector your code looks:

style="background-image: url("/images/sliders/slide-1.jpg");"

and should

style="background-image: url(/images/sliders/slide-1.jpg);
