replace characters - php help please..

Hi all,

This is my code:

<?php
   function CleanFileName($result ){
    $result = trim(strip_tags($result));
    $RemoveChars  = array( "([\40])" , "([^a-zA-Z0-9+])", "(-{2,})" );
    $ReplaceWith = array("+", "", "-");
    return preg_replace($RemoveChars, $ReplaceWith, $result);
}
   

Code (markup):

Another part of my code is this:

<?php

   function CleanFileName($result ){

    $result = str_replace('&#8230', '',$result);

    $result = str_replace(' &#8211', '',$result);

    $result = str_replace(' ? ', '+',$result);

    $result = str_replace('&#8211', '+',$result);

    $result = str_replace('&#39', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' | ', '+', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' |', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('| ', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' -', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('- ', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('-', '+', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' ~', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('~ ', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('~', '+', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' : ', '+', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' ?', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' ?', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('<', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('>', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('(', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(')', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('/ ', '+', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' /', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('& ', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' &#58', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('&#58 ', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.com', '+com', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.info', '+info', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.net', '+net', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.us', '+us', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.org', '+org', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.co.id', '+co+id', $result);

    $result = str_replace('...', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('.', '+', $result);

    $result = str_replace('<Referat> ', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' </Referat>', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('&#63', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' _', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('_', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace('Yahoo! Answers', '', $result);

    $result = str_replace(' :: ', '+', $result);

    $result = trim(strip_tags($result));

    $RemoveChars  = array( "([\40])" , "([^a-zA-Z0-9+])", "(-{2,})");

    $ReplaceWith = array("+", "", "-");

    return preg_replace($RemoveChars, $ReplaceWith, $result);

}

How do I modify it so that it can also remove apostrophe's?

Somehow it can remove certain characters but not apostrophe's.

Please help, thanks

 

$result = str_replace('&#39', '', $result);

PHP:

I think this is it, but doesnt work

 

You need to use double quotes around the single quote

// Encoded apostrophe
$result = str_replace("&#39", '', $result);
// Unencoded apostrophe
$result = str_replace("'", '', $result);

PHP:

 

Doesn't work for some reason.

It still shows the apostrophe.

 

You can use escape character

here it is

$result = str_replace('\'', '', $result);

Code (markup):

 

use one quote. may be this will be help.
