I am trying to manipulate a string so that any quotes (") within <a href> and <\a> get taken out... Sorry if its been asked before but I just can't get it to work! By the way, I am POSTing the data from a form and then manipulating the string. This is basically html but its in the form of a string, and I want to take out quotes on things like images and links... Another thing is, I do not want to escape the quotes because that would break the link... And the whole point is that the html can be used and work fine... But now, something is automatically creating a second set of quotes inside the normal quotes, like this: <a href="\"http://www.example.com/\""></a>

Example input would be: <p><a href="http://www.example.com">example</a></p>

Heres how it appears when I echo it however: <p><a href=\"http://www.example.com\">example</a></p>

Heres how I want it to look: <p><a href="http://www.example.com">example</a></p>

So I would actually be trying to get rid of the (/) my bad...
