You need to use double backslash:

 $str = str_replace('\\', '/', $str);

Source: enSO .

    It would be nice to explain why double slash. Why single gives an error. - cache

    So the source is enSO, not the manual. It is clear - uorypm

the \ sign means shielding of characters - therefore it gives an error, in this case \ it will show that the second slash should be regarded as a normal character.
