php export problem
 
I have a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 into which I enter data each day. The
sheet is set up to use CONCATENATE to wrap the data with html tags and
uses CONCATENATE again to bring them all together. I then right click
the final CONCATENATE cell, copy the results and then paste them into
the rest of the html on my raw web page. This works without any issues.

However, I now need to include some PHP in the middle of all this and
this is producing some odd results that I cannot remove. The copied
output has a " added at the start and the same added at the end and,
within the code, every " is doubled so that something like <p
class="subtitle" becomes <p class=""subtitle"".

The PHP is held in one cell with ALT-Enter used to put each statement on
a separate line within the cell. The actual PHP looks like:
<?php
$json_string = file_get_contents('http://website_address.json');
$parsed_json = json_decode($json_string);
$weathernow = $parsed_json-{'current_observation'}-{'weather'};
// $time = $parsed_json-{'current_observation'}-{'observation_time'};
$icon = $parsed_json-{'current_observation'}-{'icon_url'};
$text1 = "The current weather here is<span class=lowercase
$weathernow</span&nbsp;&nbsp;<img class=middle src=";
$text2 = "";
echo $text1,$icon,$text2;
?

Could anyone offer a way to stop the addition of the " characters and
their duplication?

Not sure this will work but my thinking is...

just as you use the code substitute &nbsp;&nbsp; to denote " "

...why not use the appropriate code substitute for the double quote
character!

Thanks, but part of the problem is the unwanted introduction of a single
" at the start and end of the output when I copy it.

And so using the code substitute would prevent that same as if you were
adding via a macro! Or no?

Also.., are you pasting to the webpage or to the source code behind it?
