PHP: Textile giving me single quotes instead of apostrophes

Question

I'm using v2.0 of ClassTextile.php, with the following call:

$testimonial_text = $textile->TextileRestricted($_POST['testimonial']);

... and all of my apostrophes (ex. It's hot in here) are being translated to ASCII ‘ (which is a single quote, which slopes the wrong way). What it should be is ASCII ’. I've also tried using TextileThis() and I have the same problem.

If I go and try it on Textile's website (http://textile.thresholdstate.com/), it gives the correct ASCII code. So why isn't it working with the downloadable library? Or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Have you really copy-pasted the text from your source code to the form on their website? If this still yields the same result, you should probably upgrade your version.

Answer 2

Hmm code looks clean, I would suggest passing in the POST and a variable instead of directly just to see if there is some kinda bug. I don't think the results will change just ruling out that option.

$var = $_POST['testimonial'];
$testimonial_text = $textile->TextileRestricted($var);
