Problems in removing double quotations

[nargish]

I am eager to replace double quotations in the output that is being displayed.

input text : This is "within quotes"
output text: This is <p class="quotes">within quotes</p>

I have worked out something like this

$text = ereg_replace(' "[A-Za-z0-9. -]+"',"<p class=\"quotes\">\\0</a>", $str);
 

But i dont feel that its really good enough as the quotes still remain.Any suggestions will be very helpful.

Thanks Nargish

Hi Nargish. Welcome to The Scripts!

If you are simply looking to remove the quote marks you could do something like this:

# Note that I use \ as an escape character, so that
# PHP knows I want to use the " char, rather than close
# the string.
echo str_replace("\"", "", $inputText);

Thanks Atli, for your suggestion .But i want to keep the quotes present in anchor tag intact.I just want to give the quotations a new look.

Thank you,
Nargish
