Let's see:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
function quotereplace($text) {
$text = str_replace("\"", "", $text);
return $text;
}
?>
<?php
function quotereplace($text) {
$text = str_replace("\"", "", $text);
return $text;
}
?>

And then:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
$yourtext = 'Hello, my name is "Anders Moen" and my site is "www.andersmoen.com"';
echo quotereplace($yourtext);
?>
<?php
$yourtext = 'Hello, my name is "Anders Moen" and my site is "www.andersmoen.com"';
echo quotereplace($yourtext);
?>

Does that work..?

Yes, basically you have to use an escape character for it to recognise the quote, which is a backward slash. For more complex parsing check out the regex libraries.
