This really depends upon the reason you wish to replace the double quote. If
it is definately only " you wish to change to its html equivalent you can do
:-

echo ereg_replace( '"' ,""",$string);

If you wish to change all html chars you can use:-

echo htmlspecialchars($string);

in both cases I have string as:-

$string = '"';
