[FX.php List] Continuing problem with parsing apostrophes

[Steve Winter]

So half my suggestion won't work 'cause I'm in the middle of an API project and I sent you API ideas, not FX ones (Doh...!)

What about my other (cheats, but gets it done) solution...?

$string = str_replace('’', "'", $string);
