str_replace doesnt seem to replace

[kagey]

Hey,

Im working on a message board thingy, and the following doesnt replace a smiley:

str_replace("🙂", "<img src=\"images/smile.gif\">", $message);

the message comes out still having the 🙂 in it.

any ideas?

thanks,
Kyle

$message = str_replace("🙂","<img src=\"images/smile.gif\">",$message);

Try that.
