How to stop my twitter code outputting apostrophes as '

[GazJ]

I am using the below functions to create a twitter feed. You can see the results in the footer of my portfolio at nicolaelvin.com. How do I get rid of that ' and make it an apostrophe?\[code\]function twitify($str){ $str = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w]+[^ \"\n\r\t< ]*)#", "\\1<a href=http://stackoverflow.com/"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $str); $str = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])((www|ftp)\.[^ \"\t\n\r< ]*)#", "\\1<a href=http://stackoverflow.com/"http://\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>", $str); $str = preg_replace("/@(\w+)/", "@<a href=http://stackoverflow.com/"http://www.twitter.com/\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\1</a>", $str); $str = preg_replace("/#(\w+)/", "#<a href=http://stackoverflow.com/"http://search.twitter.com/search?q=\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\1</a>", $str); return $str; } function twitter(){ $twitterRssFeedUrl = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/nicolaElvin.rss"; $twitterUsername = "nicolaElvin"; $amountToShow = 5; $twitterPosts = false; $xml = @simplexml_load_file($twitterRssFeedUrl); if(is_object($xml)){ foreach($xml->channel->item as $twit){ if(is_array($twitterPosts) && count($twitterPosts)==$amountToShow){ break; } $d['title'] = stripslashes(htmlentities($twit->title,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8')); $description = stripslashes(htmlentities($twit->description,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8')); if(strtolower(substr($description,0,strlen($twitterUsername))) == strtolower($twitterUsername)){ $description = substr($description,strlen($twitterUsername)+1); } $d['description'] = $description; $d['pubdate'] = strtotime($twit->pubDate); $d['guid'] = stripslashes(htmlentities($twit->guid,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8')); $d['link'] = stripslashes(htmlentities($twit->link,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8')); $twitterPosts[]=$d; } }else{ die('cannot connect to twitter feed'); } if(is_array($twitterPosts)){ echo '<ul>'; foreach($twitterPosts as $post){ $description=twitify($post['description']); echo '<li><time>'.date('F j, Y, g:i a',$post['pubdate']).'</time></li><li>'.$description.'</li>'; } echo '</ul>'; }else{ echo '<p>No Twitter posts have been made</p>'; } }\[/code\]
