[SOLVED] str_replace

[emexinc]

...this is my problem...

 

<?php 
$size = "2 3/16 x 4 1/2";
$size = str_replace("x", "&#34;&#32;x", "$size");
echo $size."&#34;";
?>

 

or

 

<?php

$size = "2 3/16 x 4 1/2";

$size = str_replace("x", "&#34;&#32;x", "$size");

echo $size."&#34;";

?>

 

...and this echoes 2 3/16 " x 4 1/2"...but i am trying to get 2 3/16" x 4 1/2"...i have tried this code below...

 

<?php 
$size = "2 3/16 x 4 1/2";
$size = str_replace("&#32;x", "&#34;&#32;x", "$size");
echo $size."&#34;";
?>

 

or

 

<?php

$size = "2 3/16 x 4 1/2";

$size = str_replace("&#32;x", "&#34;&#32;x", "$size");

echo $size."&#34;";

?>

 

...and this echoes 2 3/16 x 4 1/2"...but i am assuming that it didn't find anything to replace...

 

...but then it can't find the x with a space in front of it...the challenging part of this code is the dimensions are changing ( 4" - 4 1/2" - 4 1/16" )...that's why i am looking for an x...and trying to add the quote, and then easily adding a quote at the end...how do i go about getting this work, and possibly getting this to work easier than i have it set up?...thanks

 

...sorry, i have the code posted twice to show that the code function in this forum is changing &#34; to &#38;#34;

How about something like this:

<?php
$size = "2 3/16 x 4 1/2";
list($p1,$p2) = explode(' x ',$size);
echo $p1 . '" x ' . $p2 . '"';
?>

...what if i have a dimension where three sizes are given, even though most will be two?...is there a way for me to use this method and add an if statement to check, or is there an easier way?...thanks for the quick response Ken...

Generalized:

<?php
$size = "4 1/2 x 5 x 1 3/4";
$new_size = implode('" x ',explode(' x ',$size)) . '"';
echo $new_size . '<br>';
?>
