Answer 6

For PHP 5.3.7

$str = str_replace('"',''',$str);

OR

$str = str_replace('"',"'",$str);

For PHP 5.2

$str = str_replace('"',"'",$str);

Answer 7

I like to use an intermediate variable:

$OutText = str_replace('"',"'",$InText);

Also, you should have a Test.php file where you can try stuff out:

$QText = 'I "am" quoted';
echo "<P>QText is: $QText";
$UnQText = str_replace ('"', '', $QText);
echo "<P>Unquoted is: $UnQText";
