[SOLVED] change second occurance in a string

[tbare]

i have a string of names:

 

"French Stuart, Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery"

 

and want this changed to:

 

"French Stuart, Burt Reynolds, & Sean Connery"

 

so, basically, i want to change the second "," to ", &"...

 

how would this be done?

[The Little Guy]

$str = "French Stuart, Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery";
$pos = strrpos($str,",");
$str = substr_replace($str," & ",$pos+1,0);
echo $str;

thanks!...

 

just so i understand why, here...

 

$str = substr_replace($str," & ",$pos+1,0);

 

waht does the last ,0 do here?

[The Little Guy]

the 0 tells it not to cut off everything after the insert.

 

If given and is positive' date=' it represents the length of the portion of string  which is to be replaced. If it is negative, it represents the number of characters from the end of string  at which to stop replacing. If it is not given, then it will default to strlen( string  ); i.e. end the replacing at the end of string . Of course, if length  is zero then this function will have the effect of inserting replacement  into string  at the given start  offset. [/quote']
