My descriptions on my site contain double quotes:

Example:
""That warm fuzzy feeling inside""

I am trying to strip the quotes and have:
That warm fuzzy feeling inside

I tried this but it is giving me errors:

$string = ereg_replace("""", "",$string);

Thanks

Do The String Replase but put single quotes around the double quote in the strreplace here:
$string = str_replace('"', '', $string);
Try It...If Not Ill Help ya

Really sorry to bump an olf thread like this, but it really helped me do what I was trying to do, strip single quotes.

To strip single quotes I built off what As5a5sIn5 did. Keep in mind it looks like 5 quotes, but its 2 doubles and a single :)


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



Hopefully that can help someone like me :)

Keep in mind that it is always possible to escape aswell :)
"\"" would've given the desired result aswell; albeit escaping is usually harder to read. Ideally you would use ' ' most of the time and add variables with the . - connector, since ' ' is slightly faster than "". This is however so slight that you wouldn't feel any difference at all. :)
