clowes Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This has been bugging me for too long now. I dont understand or appreciate it, and I cant sort it out for the life of me. Help greatly appreciated. So I query a server, and collect some data. I display the data on my page. The following word: Interdomain’s is present. If I view source, it is displayed as Interdomain’s I want to remove all words after this, so what I do is use strpos to find the position, and then use substr to stop at this point. Simple. If I strpos either Interdomain’s, or Interdomain’s I get nothing.... If I strpos Interdomain, I get the right position... I.E These special chars are preventing me from getting what I want. Another example. The following is displayed: ———————————————————————— On viewing source I see: ———————————————————————— In this case I simply want to delete these dashes, so I use str_replace(); Putting either of the above into str_replace does nothing.... Ive tried utilizing strip_tags(); htmlspecialchars_decode(); etc to give just a plain text version... they do absolutely nothing. I am super confused.Help!

clowes Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 This query is not specific to a piece of code. It is a general question. Why does strpos and str_replace not work with these html characters essentially. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
