dont understand this function

[getphp]

What is the below doing?? especially the 'str_replace' bits??
? ? ? 😕

function mhtml($s) {

$s=StripSlashes($s);

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

$s=str_replace("\"",""",$s);

return($s);

}

First of all check the manual to learn about the str_replace function:

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

str_replace (String replace), searches a given string for particular character/s and replaces them.

So in the code you have given (4th line) :

$s=str_replace("\"",""",$s);

the quote sign (\") is replaced with the &quot ascii code value within the $s variable.

The 3rd line of your code:
$s=str_replace("'","'",$s);
doesnt seem to make sense as it is replacing the single quote character with the single quote character.

Many Thanks!
