Most likely it's an encoding issue.
Internally, Zend_View uses htmlspecialchars() by default when you call
escape() -- but it does so using the encoding 'ISO-8859-1' (Latin-1) by
default as well. It's likely that your single quotes are stored in the
database as special characters outside the Latin-1 character set. Try
setting your view's encoding to UTF-8 to see if that corrects the issue.
You can accomplish this in a couple of ways:
* If you are initializing Zend_View via configuration with
Zend_Application, simply specify an "encoding" key for the View
resource:
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
* Manually update it prior to calling escape() by calling the
setEncoding() method:
$view->setEncoding('UTF-8');
