And I meant http://php.net/htmlentities, of course, though some comments on str_replace may also be apropos... I also have to wonder about "works fine" on a re-read of your Original Post. Do you mean: "Works fine in IE on MS" Or do you mean: "Works fine in all browsers on Mac OS 9" Cuz those are not the same for the smart quotes junk... It even matters which fonts your browser user picks and which versions of which browsers one uses, as some browser-makers seem to have gotten tired of this mess and just caved in to MS charset eventually... Or maybe I just happened to test my apps back in the day with a font that "worked" on some browsers... You pretty much have to ban the use of MS products for content generation to solve this problem for real -- As much like office politics suicide as that may seem, it's about all you can do if you don't want to spend the rest of your life chasing down this same issue. Users will always find a way to copy/paste their data in somewhere/somehow, in any non-trivial system that lets them use MS products to generate the content. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
