[SOLVED] remove apostrophe

[chester]

I'm trying to remove apostrophes from a string. neither of these appear to be working:

 

$ref_fixed = strtr($ref_fixed, "'", "");
$ref_fixed = strtr($ref_fixed, "\'", "");

 

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Try str_replace() instead of strtr().  Same arguments.

Thank you. That does work.

 

Any idea why it would work for one and not the other?

Yeah, strtr() requires the two strings to be identical lengths, and extra characters are ignored.  It's more for this kind of thing:

 

$addr = strtr($addr, "äåö", "aao");

Which two strings need to be the same length? The string to be tested and the output string? Or the string to be tested for and the string to replace it with? Because this is working for me:

$ref_fixed = strtr($ref_fixed, "?", "");

eh whatever. If it works it works. Marking solved.
