Someone from this list (sorry I cannot remember the name), a while back, gave me the following function to use to get rid of unwanted characters coming in on forms:
function convert_smart_quotes($string)
{
$search = array(chr(145),
chr(146),
chr(147),
chr(148),
chr(151),
"#",
";",
"[",
"]",
"{",
"<",
">",
"=",
"URL=http://";);
$replace = array("'",
"'",
'"',
'"',
"-",
"number",
",",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"",
"equals",
"");
return str_replace($search, $replace, $string); }
This has been working pretty good, however every once in a while something won't go through, such as the following text recently (between the dashed lines). It sent a confirmation email with no order number and did not make a record in the database:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I re-entered the order using the following text (between the starred lines), the order went through:

Also, we are getting back for example "I\'m hoping..." Somehow the slashes are coming through in the field and in the emails. I am not even sure what is putting them in, as I don't see that in the replace function.
