I was provided with a set of data that represents URL links. Such as: "doug'sfood.jpg".

.

I keep these strings in an array, and then select them randomly to display inserting them into an 

<img src="doug'sfood.jpg"></img>

What Chrome is putting out is: 

<img src="doug&#39;sfood.jpg"></img>

I tried replacing the quotes with a php escaped (\') apostrophe, but this just ended the quote prematurely.

Can someone help me? Thanks.

    I think Chrome automatically escapes characters that are not correctly escaped.

    Always use:

    <img src="quote&#39;quote.jpg" alt="" />

    Instead of:

    <img src="quote'quote.jpg" alt="" />

    Certain characters should always be escaped in HTML, for example:

    ' -> &#39;
& -> &#38; or &amp;

    Check the htmlspecialchars() and urlencode() functions, example:

    $string = "quote'quote.jpg";

echo htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_QUOTES);
// quote&#039;quote.jpg

echo urlencode($string);
// quote%27quote.jpg
