decoding ‘ and ’ (HTML codes) problem

[marky2coats]

Hi ppl,

Trying to decode ’ and ‘ (HTML codes) in a string back to normal ascii. Thought html_entity_decode() would decode these but it seems not.

Anybody know of anther function that will decode?

Cheers,

Mark.

$string = '‘ and ’';
$string = str_replace('‘', '‘', $string);
$string = str_replace('’', '’', $string);
echo $string;

its the char set

$html='decoding ‘ and ’ (HTML codes) problem ';

echo html_entity_decode ( $html, ENT_QUOTES, 'cp1251');

Thanks ppl.

Can I just ask why it needs to decode using a Russian char set ?
