html source encode

Question

when I view source on my php page I get " for a quote. But instead, I would like " to be used in the source code. I have no control over manually replacing it so Im wondering if there is a function to do such a thing.

Answer 1

You could do this very simply using str_replace.

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

However, as Levi said, why not just leave it this way? It should have no effect on the display.

Answer 2

If you have access to the PHP and want to change all html special characters to their rightful variations use:

print htmlspecialchars_decode($string);
