Alright im stumped on trying to figure this one out, maybe I shouldn't be using str_replace but it's the only thing I can think of right now. I have a string of numbers seperated by commas like so "2,5,7,10,12,14," And I need to delete one of the numbers so I used str_replace and it works it's just that when I do it for the value 2 I end up deleting the 2 in the 12 also, anyone have any ideas? Here's a sample of the code I have: [code] <? $id = '2'; $bla = '2,7,10,11,12,'; $bla = str_replace($id.',', "", $bla); echo $bla; ?> ///outputs 7,10,11,1 [/code] Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
