[SOLVED] str_replace

[andz]

how to remove charcters like .,!@#$%^&*()/? using str_replace and replace spaces with underscore.

 

e.g. This is a simple, most blah, blah!!!.

 

 

expected result is: this_is_a_simple_most_blah_blah

Store each one of the characters you want to remove in an array.

 

<?php
$array = array('.',',','!','@','#','$','%','^','&','*','(',')','/','?');
$str = ' some string ';

$replace_string = str_replace($array, '', $str);

 

With replacing a space with underscore, I think you can manage that.

<?php
$string = "This is a simple, most blah, blah!!!.";
$string = str_replace(" ", "_", $string);//replcae the spaces with an underscore
$remove_array(".", ",", "!", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", "/", "?");
$string = str_replace($remove_array, "", $string);//replaces the values from $remove_array with nothing
echo $string;

 

Virtually identical to what Ken gave you. Does the space to udnerscore as well.

 

You might find a simple regular expression better suited for this.
