README

The kit replaces all irregular - Microsoft version single and double quotes to simple - ASCII type ones.

Requirements

Starting from version 1.3.0 package requires PHP 7.1 or higher. Please use version 1.2.0 for PHP 7.0 or 1.0.5 for earlier versions.

Usage example

There are two implementations - one, which converts quotes and returns content as UTF-8 and the other which does the same, but returns it as ASCII - with the exception of a pound symbol (£), which is also returned correctly.

use SSD\SmartQuotes\Utf8CharacterSet;
use SSD\SmartQuotes\Factory as SmartQuotesFactory;

$string = "“Contrary to ‘popular belief’, Lorem Ipsum is not simply ‘random text’. The cost in Sterling is £20.00”";

// UTF-8 implementation
echo SmartQuotesFactory::filter(new Utf8CharacterSet, $string);

// ASCII implementation
echo SmartQuotesFactory::filter(new AsciiCharacterSet, $string);

// both return:
// "Contrary to 'popular belief', Lorem Ipsum is not simply 'random text'. The cost in Sterling is £20.00"
