I am getting a very strange problem... I am creating a website and storing data in mysql and data is phrased from different types of sources in the database. But the text and html I am storing is not clean. It's also saved some special characters and and extra space. Now how can I clean this data with php when I render it as html. I used trim() and html_entity_decode().
These functions removed some white spaces but I still can't clean these  characters.
Here is screenshot from my phpmyadmin : http://postimg.org/image/ze8umokej/
And here is a screenshot of my page source : http://postimg.org/image/rdz5bxsuj/
I prepared a regular expression and replaced it with balnk.
$str = "Â some text";
echo $str = preg_replace('/[^\x00-\x7F]/',"",$str);
