[FX.php List] Continuing problem with parsing apostrophes

[Steve Winter]

Hi Bob

Have you tried getting the content out using getFieldUnencoded() instead of getField()....? and working with the resulting text...?

Alternatively, if this is a single isolated issue you could just cheat and do;

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

Cheers
Steve
