Pandolfo Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hey everyone, Attached is a screenshot of text pulled out of a database. For some reason, a strange character appears where apostrophies should be. I've checked the entries several times...and the strange character isn't in the database. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas would be great. Thanks! [/img] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91324-strange-characters-in-text-generated-from-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace them with straight quotes. http://www.asciitable.com Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91324-strange-characters-in-text-generated-from-database/#findComment-468018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
