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?

the slashes are normal to be in front special characters. translated back to html they will show the right sign without a slash

only the last statement is good

hay, thanx for the reply

I guess my question is:
is there a difference between:
$newsText = str_replace(' ', ' ', $newsText);
vs
$newsText = str_replace(" ", " ", $newsText);

and how would I replace double quotes w/ space?
$newsText = str_replace(???, " ", $newsText); where ??? is a doulbe quote...

easy;

Code:

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

why would you want to replace a " with a space ? why not replace it with nothing?
str_replace('"','',$text); // note two sinlge quotes together or insert a psace if you really really need it to be

yeah, I thought so... it's not working... it's tooo frustrating... I thought may be the usage of single quotes is causing a problem... but I guess that's not the case

would it help if I provide the link where you can see these ugly question marks?

sure fire away

here's the problem,
My user uses an html editor to enter their text. The html editor creates all sorts of html tags and stuff. I store this text in my Database.
Then when I fetch the news from the database, I remove the
<html></html><head></head><body></body> tags and then put the text in a <div> area where the text should go. The problem is only when my users (not me) enter the news in html editor, the text is full of question marks (when I write the news, everything is fine... classic eh?)

here's the link to the page w/ the question mark. Any thoughts?

possibly easier then if you post a section of text, so we can give it some serious replacing .. possibly preg_replace.

Following is what I get from teh database though:

the only 2 things not really behaving seem to be these:
$newsText = str_replace("\'", "'", $newsText);
$newsText = str_replace("\"", '"', $newsText);

which work well as
$newsText = str_replace("\\\'", "'", $newsText);
$newsText = str_replace("\\\"", '"', $newsText);
- you are trying to remove a delimiting character, and you need to delimit that first, oddly using 2 more.

Think thats right innit guys ?

hay check this out,
Whereever there's a space, the stupid html editor puts the following:

Code:

<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">  </span>

I need to replace that whole thing with a simple space...
would this be the way to do it (because it's not working):

Code:

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

well, I guess it comes down to replace:

<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\"> </span>

with
" "

I'm not so good at this... I'm making far tooo many funny attempts

FederalProgrammer · Oct 12, 2005

ok, That problem is gone now....

check this out:

Code:

“falling off the cliff”

is replaced by "?"

notice how:
“falling off the cliff” differs from
"falling off the cliff"
