Re: dealing with MSWord curly quotes in text

Replace the nasties with preg... $Data = preg_replace('/[\x93\x94]/', '"', $Data); I figured out the Hex numbers of the offending characters by pasting such an offensive character into the following piece of code where the "x" is... echo dechex(ord('x')); You could use the same principles to replace all sorts of junk.
