How to remove individual special characters from a string in PHP?

I have a line as shown below

Hindustan Times, October 2009, review by a renowned art critic at her solo exhibition in Jaipur, Jawahar Kala Kendra'th, September 23-29, 2009. "Many of her paintings, including her portrait, stress in the humanities, unusual position and aimlessness"

In the line above, I need to remove the following characters

Are there any string functions that I can use to remove these characters?

Alternatively, you can turn off all characters that are not alphanumeric or spaces, rather than listing all characters that you do not want:

preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9\s]/", "", $str);

$search     = array(',', '"', "'", '-', '.');
