How to remove  in a PHP string

Question

I am trying to use the Microsoft Bing API.

$data = file_get_contents(\"http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Speak?appId=APPID&text={$text}&         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem today, and fixed by ensuring the string was set to UTF-8:

$content = utf8_encode ( $content );
