Special characters in a TCPDF
I am pulling a title out of a database "WHAT's NEXT"
Here is the tcpdf cell code: $pdf->MultiCell(0, 0, $SemTitle, 0, 'C', false, 0, 10, 127);
Results on PDF: WHAT'S NEXT?
I have tried
$SemTitle = html_entity_decode($row['E
$SemTitle = utf8_decode($row['EvtTitle
$SemTitle = utf8_encode($row['EvtTitle
Not sure if I should be working from the db query or where it is in the ftpdf cell

Is the data coming out of the DB like that or is it coming out in the PDF only in other words is the DB sending through data that needs to be converted or is it getting mangled as part of the PDF output?

It is coming out of the db. I had this same problem a year ago and Ray Paseur provided the fix, html_entity_decode, but it isn't working this time. Not sure what has changed. It is so frustrating!
Brian's code is working.
Thanks to both of you for the quick response.

Interesting:
ENT_COMPAT Will convert double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone.
ENT_QUOTES Will convert both double and single quotes.
ENT_NOQUOTES Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted.
