[SOLVED] Removing ASCII code from query

Recommended Posts

I have a code that is stripping all HTML markup away from a database field before outputting it, but there are still ASCII character markups left like:

 

™

 

I tried using preg_replace but I must be doing it wrong because it is not removing anything. Here is the code, can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

	$description = $row['description'];
$details = $row['details'];
$description = strip_tags($description);
$details = strip_tags($details);
$pattern = '&#*;';
$replacement = '';
$description = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $description);
$details = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $details);
