RSS Feed Strange Characters

[ziycon]

Can someone advise me on how to remove these strange characters in my feeds, in FF3 unknown characters show up and IE 7 wont even render the rss page, throws an error!?

RSS Feeds - Irish Gaming Newtork - Wii | DS | PS3 | PS2 | PSP | XBOX | XBOX 360 | PC | MAC

try this

$feed = str_replace("’","´",$feed);
//where ’ is the cause of your problem

what are you using to generate the feeds ?

 

[ziycon]

try this

 = str_replace("’","´",);
//where ’ is the cause of your problem

That worked and i fixed the pound and euro symbols but the double quotes i can't seem to sort!?

what are you using to generate the feeds ?

Created a php file to generate the rss pages.

 

[louie]

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

 

[ziycon]

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

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

 

[louie]

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

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

“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

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