Created a php file to generate the rss pages.

PHP Code:

str_replace('"',""",);

Tried that and its not working, the double quotes are showing up like there in italics!?

did you look at the source code? have you an URL to show us?

You can view the feeds here: RSS Feeds - Irish Gaming Newtork - Wii | DS | PS3 | PS2 | PSP | XBOX | XBOX 360 | PC | MAC

Still has the same strange character showing a little box!?

Did you run the last option i gave you?
you have an error in the feed as it said...

Code:

“Cryptic will unveil the first <em>Star Trek Online</em> gameplay footage as well as details about this highly anticipated MMO at the annual <em>Star Trek Convention</em> in Las Vegas on Sunday, August 10, 2008.”

so sanitize it

PHP Code:

feed_variable = str_replace(array('“','"'),""",feed_variable); 


That seems to have worked, thanks louie.
