using the plus symbol + in regex means the occurrence of one or more of the previous character. So we can add it in a preg_replace to replace the occurrence of one or more / by just one of them
$url = “site.com/edition/new///”;
$newUrl = preg_replace(‘/(/+)/’,’/’,$url);
// now it should be replace with the correct single forward slash echo $newUrl
