.josh Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 $string = preg_replace('~&~','and',$string); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/163926-solved-pre_replace-help/#findComment-864838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebadbad Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm sure you know this CV, but for the sake of the OP; when replacing simple strings, str_replace() is more efficient. $str = str_replace('&', 'and', $str); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/163926-solved-pre_replace-help/#findComment-864840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
