My database is returning some strings like:
This is a string
This is a problem when the string is long enough and you have maximum width set:
<p style="width:50px">This is a string</p>
In order to get ride of
entities I've tried to use the following filters without success:
$new = preg_replace("/ /i", " ", $str);
$new = str_replace(' ', ' ', $str);
$new = html_entity_decode($str);
You have a PHP fiddle to see this in action (I've had to codify the string in hex from the database output; the string is in spanish, sorry).
How to deal with this? Why html_entity_decode()
is not working? And what about the replace functions? Thanks.
