Str_Replace MS Word Elements

Ben · 6th June 2005, 11:34 AM

I have user submitted articles on my site. Most of the time they are copied from MS Word and have code such as “, ‘ and , in it.

My website has an XHTML Doctype and doesn't like these when I try validate my website. Is there any way to replace them? I tried this but it isn't working:

PHP Code:


		
			
$article = str_replace("“", "\"", $article);

That would be annoying... Try using single quotes instead of double quotes...

PHP Code:


		
			
$article = str_replace('“', '\"', $article);
