Preg Replace Problem maybe with _

[jaxdevil]

I am trying to replace the character underscore ( _ ) with a space. It is not working, it is making the whole string blank. Any thing I am doing wrong?

 

<?
$string = $row['subcat'];
$replacement = ' ';
$pattern = '_';
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
?>

$pattern = '/_/';

For something this simple I'd advise that you use str_replace rather than preg_replace.  str_replace is much faster.
