tried quotes_to_entities() but then i lose my Registered sysmbols
so now i'm going with this:
Code:
$desc1 = $this->input->post('shortDesc');
$desc2 = $this->input->post('longDesc');
$desc1 = str_replace('”', '"', $desc1);
$desc2 = str_replace('”', '"', $desc2);
if ($this->Boot_model->update_boot_text(
$this->input->post('bootID'),
$this->input->post('nmbr'),
$this->input->post('name'),
$this->input->post('boot_type'),
htmlentities ( $desc1, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ),
htmlentities ( $desc2, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' )
))
does the job
doesn't really help me understand why this is happening,
but i guess you can't have everything
side note:
i've been searching on websites that list EVERYTHING in the various charsets and i am yet to find that stupid slanted double quote, so i still don't know what it is.
thanks again for all of your help Randy
