Replace single quote in a string not working

Question

I'm having trouble replacing a single quote in a string, the purpose is to create part of an URL

For example : If I type in "Villeneuve d'ascq" I would want to have :

Villeneuve+d%27ascq", %27 being the ascii equivalent of (')

I tried using str_replace("'", ord("'"), string_name) but it doesn't seem to work

Any help would be appreciated and feel free to ask for any more details

Is there something wrong with [urlencode](http://php.net/urlencode)? — Jonnix, Mar 14 '18 at 09:16
Did you replaced all the characters with `str_replace`? Don't tell me you are live with that code. — Aniket Sahrawat, Mar 14 '18 at 09:19
I'll try using urlencode when possible and get back to you, thanks — Rémy.W, Mar 14 '18 at 09:21

Please try this :

echo '<a href="test.com', urlencode(."Villeneuve d'ascq".), '">test</a>';
