I'm writing a function to clear text which works with or without ut8 characters.
I keep getting text like this.
Coventry Salary - �25,000 - �35,000
but with this function it removes the � but leaves other.
I want to know if anyone wrote a function which cleans the text.
function convertHTMLSpecialChars ( $str='' )
{
$str = htmlspecialchars ( $str );
$str = mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-8', mb_detect_encoding($str));
$str = htmlspecialchars($str, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');
return $str;
}
