Update: I'd agree with others that the following is an easier-to-read alternative for most folks:

$page = str_replace("'", '"', $page);

My original answer:

$page = str_replace(chr(39), chr(34), $page);

This should work:

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

You only need the start and end / for preg_...() (and other regex) functions. For basic functions such as str_replace, simply use the characters:

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

You don't need to escape the quote character (in fact it is \, not /, unless you were confused with the standard regex delimiters) if the string isn't delimited with the same character.

$page = str_replace("'", '"', $page);

This works. You actually don't need any escaping character.

$page = str_replace("'", '"', $page);

I think you should do replacements with preg_replace();

$str = "'Here 'it' goes'";
echo preg_replace("/'/", '"', $str);
