php characters

[bartekd 0]

I am doing something with an API in another software, and I need to get the source of a html file and put it in a PHP file. I have everything working as intended, but I keep coming accross characters that PHP doesn't like, and it stops there. Is there some script I can use to catch all the characters that PHP doesn't like? This is part of how I am doing it now, and I keep adding this same line every time I come accross a character that makes the script stop. FYI $sHTML is the source code of the page.

$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, '"', "'")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, '“', "'")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, '’', "'")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, '”', "'")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'à', "a")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'â', "a")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'ä', "a")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'è', "e")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'ê', "e")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'é', "e")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'ë', "e")
$sHTML = StringReplace($sHTML, 'î', "i")

Or...

StringRegExpReplace($sData, '[^²&"''\(-\)=°\+~\\#\{\[\|`\^@\]\}$\*\?,:!\.%/\w]', "")

Which replaces special letters/non latin languages.

Br, FireFox.

Doesn't seem to work for me. I still see letters like é etc... Do I need to format it differently before using that?

$IEFile = "c:test"

Local $oIE = _IECreate($IEFile & ".htm")

Local $sHTML = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)

_IEQuit($oIE)

StringRegExpReplace($sHTML, '[^²&"''(-)=°+~#{[|`^@]}$*?,:!.%w]', "")

Nevermind, I forgot to put "$sHTML = "before your code.

That doesn't seem to work because it takes out the important characters of the source (like the slashes etc). Any other ideas?

It's so hard to add a slash to the pattern.... edited my post.
