how to str_replace “ doublequote?

[carsten888]

I want to replace those leaning doublequotes to normal double quotes.

for a normal double quote this works fine:

$bb2html = str_replace('"','doublequote',$bb2html);

but this does not work with “ and  ”.

 

how to str_replace “ doublequote?

 

(I just deleted my sample codes because I saw in the preview those funny doublequotes got replaced)

Just a quick example.

 

$string = " “Test” ";
$replace = array(chr(147),chr(148));
$string = str_replace($replace,'"',$string);
echo $string;
//Output is "Test"

 

It depends on what character set you're using on the page. That should work for most though.

Damned hate for curly quotes and elipses. Use the following code, it should work on them:

$search = array(chr(145), chr(146), chr(147), chr(148)); 
$replace = array("'",  "'",  '"',  '"'); 

$string = str_replace($search, $replace, $string);

I can get this to work:

$string = " “Test” ";
$search = array(chr(145), chr(146), chr(147), chr(148)); 
$replace = array("'",  "'",  '"',  '"'); 

$string = str_replace($search, $replace, $string); 

but it does not work with the string I submit! really weird. Never seen this before.

string:

s “alhij”dfv

works in the above script, but not when I use it in my class.

 

function bbcode_to_html($bb2html){	

	//find and replace b, url and img
	$bb2html = preg_replace_callback("/\[b\](.+?)\[\/b\]/i", array(get_class($this), 'get_b'), $bb2html);
	$bb2html = preg_replace_callback("/\[url\](.+?)\[\/url\]/i", array(get_class($this), 'get_link'), $bb2html);		
	$bb2html = preg_replace_callback("/\[img\]http://(.+?)\[\/img\]/i", array(get_class($this), 'get_image'), $bb2html);		

	//clean up all unclosed tags
	$bb2html = str_replace('[b]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[b]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/b]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/b]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[url=http://','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[url]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace(']','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[url]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/url]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/url]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[img]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[img]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/img]','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/img]','',$bb2html);		
	$bb2html = str_replace('[/','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace('[','',$bb2html);
	$bb2html = str_replace(']','',$bb2html);


	//echo $bb2html;
	//echo '<br /><br />';

	$search = array(chr(145), chr(146), chr(147), chr(148)); 
	$replace = array("'",  "'",  '"',  '"'); 		
	$bb2html = str_replace($search, $replace, $bb2html); 

	//echo $bb2html;	
	//exit;


	return $bb2html;
}

 

as you see I outputted it twice to see what going on and it simply outputs:

s “alhij”dfv<br /><br />s “alhij”dfv

 

What is there to overlook here?

is this some bizar chartype issue? [sight]
