PHP Convert Straight Quotes to Smart Quotes.

[Brian Miller]

Using PHP, how would I convert the following:

I "love" Newoin

to the following?

I “love” Newoin

Do you see the use of smart quotes?

 

I can do this in JS but I need to do this in PHP.  In JS, I'd do something like...

$text = 'I "love" Newoin';
console.log($text.replace(/'/g").replace(/\`/g, "’").replace(/\b"/g, "”").replace(/\"/g, "“"));

But I have no idea how to do this in PHP.  Please help. Thanks.

Opps, I missed one of the quote types

 

$text = preg_replace(array('/\b"/','/"/',"/'/","/`/"), array('”','“',"’","’"), $text);

"That's a 'magic' sock."    = Incorrect
“That’s a ‘magic’ sock.”    = Correct

Hey, try the following code, that should work for you.

 

$text = preg_replace(array('/\b"/','/"/',"/'/"), array('”','“',"’"), $text);
