If your question is how to do this in JavaScript, don't spam the PHP tags php and str-replace. — T.J. Crowder

You use a regular expression with a character class:

option = option.replace(/[?�]/g, "'");

var option = "Testing? Testing� Testing";
option = option.replace(/[?�]/g, "'");
console.log(option);

I added the g flag on the theory you probably don't want to replace just the first one. If you do want to replace just the first one, remove the g flag.

@AbdulWaheed: It's conceptually identical, just look up how to use preg_replace.
