trouble with cleaning form input

lajkonik86

why doesn't this work?
I cant seem to find my mistake after checking the manual many times.

$wrong ='""';
$trans = array('"' => "&quot;", "'" => "&#039;");
echo strtr($wrong, $trans);

What do you want it to do? (Right now you're passing an array as the second argument to strstr(), which is expecting a string. As stated in the [man]strstr[/man] page, "If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character," which I'm guessing is not what you want to do.)

strtr
slightly different function

Worked fine for me... outputted '""' which were, of course, displayed as '""' in my browser.

Oops! My poor old eyes were playing tricks on me again. 🙁

doesn't work for me though.
when looking at the source view it still shows me " in stead of '""'
could it be something related to my php version?

Any chance we can see this page? These aren't curly quotes (e.g. “”) by any chance, are they?
