Thanks. Yes, str_replace does work. Working Code: $fancy=" “test” "; $fixed=str_replace("“","%93","$fancy"); $fixed2=str_replace("”","%94","$fixed"); echo "fancy: $fancy<br>"; echo "fixed: $fixed2"; Results: fancy: “test” fixed: %93test%94

The fancy-looking quotes won't insert into my DB, so I'm trying to convert them to %93 & %94 or normal quotes. Nothing I've tried works. Code: $fancy=" “test” "; $fixed=htmlentities($old, ENT_QUOTES); echo "fancy: $fancy<br>"; echo "fixed: $fixed"; Results: fancy: “test” fixed: I want $fixed to be %93test%94, or even "test" would work.
