Removing apostrophees from php

I have this bit of code that is displaying the description field and limiting it to 130 characters, the problem is that it is not able to display apostrophe and instead is displaying a \ instead

is there any way to fix this here is what I’m using

<?php echo substr(strip_tags($row[‘description’]),0,130) ?>

Your welcome

<?php echo substr(strip_tags(stripslahses($row['description'])),0,130)  ?>
