str_replace not working on "

i'm using the following - and have tried various combinations but the " in the database is not being converted

the ' is being replaced correctly though

function parseToXML1($htmlStr) 
{ 
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','& #039;',$htmlStr); 
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'& #039;',$htmlStr); 

return $xmlStr; 

}

Code (markup):

(ive deliberatly put a space in this post here: '& #039;' )

 

It is your bad
The second line should str_replace something in $xmlStr not $htmlStr

 

Yeah careless

$xmlStr=str_replace('"','& #039;',$htmlStr); 
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'& #039;',$xmlStr); 

PHP:

 

aaah

cheers
