character conversion

[larry]

Hello,

I'd like to convert this kind of character :

#48;

into a human readable character :

0

I can't find the function that does this in the doc, so I used
str_replace...
does anyone know ?

thanks in advance,

Where did you look exactly!?!

<?
echo chr(48);
?>

You can convert &#48; to 0 with
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php function
or use preg_replace. Some examples are in user notes of
html_entity_decode function documentation.

Two suggestions:

<?

$foo='This tring has some chars like #48;, #120; or #64;';

echo preg_replace('/#(\d+);/e', 'chr($1)', $foo);

function char_from_code($foo){
return chr($foo[1]);
}
echo preg_replace_callback('/#(\d+);/', 'char_from_code', $foo);

?>

Yep, I know you probably didn't mean this ;-)
