I have the following word:

d\'b

and when I do the following:

$test = str_replace(array("\\", "'"), "", "d\'b");

the outcome is:

d'b

Any idea why the apostrophe is not being replaced?

Sorry everyone - my bad -.-

The string I had being posted through a form was already being passed through htmlentities so the only thing I had to do was:

 str_replace("'", "", $variable);

I didn't realize it because when echoing the variable, it was being converted to the apostrophe

Try this:

$test = str_replace(array("\\'", "'"), "", "d\'b");

Tested here, seems to work well.

---

try this one:

$test = str_replace(array("\\", "'"), "", htmlspecialchars("d\'b", ENT_QUOTES));

May be it can help you.

Try to escape the backslash.. this worked for me

$test = str_replace(array("\\'", "'"), "", "d\'b"); 

Edit: pasted the wrong code.
