Questions:
I am scraping a html page and working with the contents. My page is UTF-8 as is the page I am scraping.
I have looked at this question, but it does not work for me.
PHP Replace EM Dash REGEX
The piece of data I am reading is this which is stored in $v
25th March –Â The Red Barn
I need to remove the special characters between March and The.
Looking in a hex editor, the first character is an em dash : E2 80 93
I have tried this as suggested in the question above, but it does not remove character.
$v = mb_ereg_replace("[\xE2\x80\x93]", "", $v);
I cannot remove the other character either : C3 82
I suspect this is for the same reason.
Please help.
