Trouble Replacing Apostrophe with Preg_Replace

Have a go using str_replace(), it's quicker than preg_replace() since it doesn't use regular expressions.

$text = str_replace("'", '', $text);

you can use this regexp to remove apostrophes

$text = preg_replace('/(\'|&#0*39;)/', '', $text);

also you can use str_replace to remove apostrophes after doing html_entity_decode

$text = str_replace("'","", html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES));
