I think you are almost certainly looking for stripslashes.

Use:

$filenew = str_replace('\"' , '"', $filenew);

Syntax highlighting should have given you a clue, but anyway, try one of these:

$filenew = str_replace('\\"' , '"', $filenew);

$filenew = str_replace("\\\"" , "\"", $filenew);

(If you look closely at the highlighting the SO code highlighter applies, you'll see that the comma is red, meaning you only have 2 parameters. Your escaping is wrong.)
