How to convert " & and ' to a format that can be validated

Recommended Posts

I am trying to validate my code using XHTML strict and have come across some errors that are stored in the database.

 

I have a CMS where I can add news items.  The problem is that when I enter characters such as " ' and & I get errors when validating.  The W3C validator says that I need to use the special codes.

 

Is there a way I can either format the content before it goes into the database or formatting it when it comes out.  I need to replace any characters such as these as use

 

’    closed single quote

‘    double quotes

&      ampersand

 

How do i replace the characters with these special charaters so I can validate my code>
