replacing double space by a single

FederalProgrammer · Oct 11, 2005

I am grabbing a huge html text from a database and I have to strip off the unwanted junk before I can use the text:

Code:

$newsText = $row->news_text;
$newsText = str_replace("\'", "'", $newsText);
$newsText = str_replace("\"", '"', $newsText);
$newsText = str_replace("  ", " ", $newsText);

I print off the $newsText into a predefined area of my website; The only problem is I get a lot of "?" all over the place. Single quotes for example get replaced by "?". Also, double spaces get replaced by "?".
What am I doing wrong?

darn, almost... I'm trying a few permutations to see if it works... but no luck so far

So you've tired a few permutations after posting that code. Your permutations didn't change anything?

sure, it did

It got rid of the text I was looking for;

Code:

$newsText = str_replace("<span style=" . '"' . "mso-spacerun: yes" . '"' .">  </span>", " ", $newsText);
$newsText = str_replace("<span style=" . '"' . "mso-spacerun: yes" . '"' ."> </span>", " ", $newsText);

but now, the user has just updated the site w/ another text with the wierd double quote... I've put the new "newsText" in this thread too. The code hasn't changed though

ps, thanx for going over the thread

I would prefer that you use fewer emoticons and answer more questions. Has or has not the code changed from what you have posted earlier in this thread?

just in case any one's interested, following did the magic:

$newsText = str_replace("“", '"', $newsText);
$newsText = str_replace("”", '"', $newsText);

I just hope my clients don't come up w/ any other weird way of typing a single/double qoute....

KarveR, thanx for your help dude

cheers!
