$str="james//bond";
$str= mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$str);
//insert query

after successful insert in database it value shows as "james/bond"

how I can insert exact string

Try this

$str = "james////bond

@Devi_3

When you write:

after successful insert in database it value shows as "james/bond"

You intend this is how the input is actually saved in the database or how is it returned by the retrieving script?

Also: could you show the insert query? The escaping function shouldn't change the slashes.

Provided that your insert query is

"INSERT INTO `users` (`username`) VALUES ({$str})"

Make this just a literal by putting the variable $str into single quotation marks. So use

"INSERT INTO `users` (`username`) VALUES ('{$str}')"

I hope this solves your problem, or if not show your insert and select queries
