Adding to below I have a few more MS word characters that need replacing. Found this was required when "fixing" some phpmyadmin export scripts from a live server where MS word characters were all through the content - before importing them back into my local mySQL database. The code I wrote for this process also does a strpos for any extra "\\xe2\\x80" strings - which are the tell-tale sign of any funny characters I want removed. Here are my updated arrays() <?php $badchr = array( "\\xe2\\x80\\xa6", // ellipsis "\\xe2\\x80\\x93", // long dash "\\xe2\\x80\\x94", // long dash "\\xe2\\x80\\x98", // single quote opening "\\xe2\\x80\\x99", // single quote closing "\\xe2\\x80\\x9c", // double quote opening "\\xe2\\x80\\x9d", // double quote closing "\\xe2\\x80\\xa2" // dot used for bullet points ); $goodchr = array( '...', '-', '-', '\\'', '\\'', '"', '"', '*' ); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60109 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60109&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60109&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
