for DocumentRoot:

for quotation mark replacement:
cat test.txt | tr '"' "'"

Thats what i did so if anyone need in future is this
Thx to all i have found solution on another forum.
$var=shell_exec('grep ^DocumentRoot /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf|cut -d" " -f2| uniq');
$var=str_replace('"', "", $var);
$var = trim($var);
$root_dir_path = $var;

Just one last problem working is now fine output looks great
