I got problem echoing text that contains double-quotes into a text field. As it confuses value
option. I use this function below to match and replace each pair of them by smart quotes. The last
one will be replaced by a hyphen(-).
It works for me.
<?php
function smart_quotes($text) {
$pattern = '/"((.)*?)"/i';
$text = preg_replace($pattern,"â\\1â",stripslashes($text));
$text = str_replace("\"","-",$text);
$text = addslashes($text);
return $text;
}
?>
