Printing funny symbols

[vipsa]

I would like to know why the following 

$myString = “Here’s a little string”;
// Displays “Here-s+a+little+string”
echo strtr( $myString, “ ‘”, “+-” ) . “ < br/ > ”;

 

is printing this 

 

Here’s+a+little+string

 

instead of this Here-s+a+little+string

That's not your actual code. I say this because what you've posted is not valid PHP code. Can you please copy and paste your exact code?

And use an editor that uses the correct " and ' characters instead of smartquotes
