note 74413 added to function.get-html-translation-table

Searching for a fast replacement of the MS WORD special characters which are not covered by get_html_translation_table() , I think the following function might help someone <?php function clean_up($str){ $str = stripslashes($str); $str = strtr($str, get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES)); $str = str_replace( array("\x82", "\x84", "\x85", "\x91", "\x92", "\x93", "\x94", "\x95", "\x96", "\x97"), array("&#8218;", "&#8222;", "&#8230;", "&#8216;", "&#8217;", "&#8220;", "&#8221;", "&#8226;", "&#8211;", "&#8212;"),$str); return $str; } ?> It replaces all types of quotes (single and double), horizontal ellipsis (...), bullet, en dash and em dash. ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 88.64.151.148 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-html-translation-table.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74413 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74413 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74413 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
