I had the same problem with input from a form.

I used &ampquot; for my search string and it worked great.

$con = str_replace("&ampquot;", "'", $content);

What you do is correct and should work. If it doesn't, then you may only SEE double quotes, but in reality these are other characters. Possible is html " character rendered as ". There are also several chars very similar to double quotes. hey 'happen' especially when pasting text from word or openoffice. You'll include all possibilities in str_replace (it can take arrays of strings as parameters).

Or:

$con = str_replace(chr(34), chr(39), $content);
