Someone mentioned this already, but you should really know that if you remove quotes from your HTML attributes, your HTML will no longer be forward-compatible with XHTML, which you really should strive for. What reason would you have for removing the quotes? There must be a better workaround than removing them. Regarding your question, it really depends on how you can operate on your HTML. Where is your HTML? Is it in a database, string, etc? Is it all in one chunk? That is, do you have stuff like this: <a href="some/url"><img src="some/image">This link has "quotes"</img></a> that can't just have all quotes removed entirely from it? If you really need to remove quotes from attributes (and I don't think you do), and all of your HTML is in one big string, you're looking at a regular expression. Read up on them here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.syntax.php Yep, that's a lot of reading. But you should learn about regular expressions; they'll be useful all over the place. If you happen to be on a Linux/Unix/BSD/whatever machine that has man pages and perl installed, check out `man perlre`. Or read on-line here: http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/perlre.html Some things to watch out for -- even if you do want to remove quotes from your attributes, I'm 100% sure you don't want to remove from *all* of them. Like this: <img src="/some/image/" title="this is a pop-up description" /> Removing the quotes from the title attribute will likely break at least some browsers, if not all. So your regular expression needs to be able to handle that gracefully.
