If str_replace() isnt working for you, then something else must be wrong, because

$string = 'A string with 
 & "double quotes".';
$string = str_replace(array('
', '&', '"'), ' ', $string);
echo $string;

outputs

A string with      double quotes .

Please provide an example of your input string and what you expect it to look like after filtering.
