note 49366 added to function.htmlspecialchars

Having difficulty with spec characters, my curly double quotes and single quotes are being wriitten to the database as: &#8216 and &#8217. But only in certain entries, which I cannot duplicate. Is there a function which will correct this? Thanks. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49366 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49366&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49366&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49366&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49366&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49366&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49366&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
