Removing single quotes for display in views

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi, there,

I am sure this question gets asked all the time. I have done many searches for it, but I can't quite find what the standard solution is for it.

So ActiveRecord espaces data with single quotes. That is fine with me, and I want that.

The problem is that when I display the record, the single quotes come along for the ride. I need to get rid of the single quotes.

I can write something to do this, but since this is such a basic task, I rather go with what most of the CI community uses for it.

So what is the standard way within the CI community to strip the single quotes?

Thanks in advance.
