[SOLVED] str_replace problem.

[scott.stephan]

Any idea why this isn't working?

 

replace=array(",");
	$sku_init=$row_itm[itm_sku];
	$sku=str_replace($replace," ",$sku_init);

 

I've also tried it

 

	$sku_init=$row_itm[itm_sku];
	$sku=str_replace(","," ",$sku_init);

 

and

 

		$sku=str_replace(","," ",$row_itm[itm_sku]);

 

Nothing works. I must be missing the point somehow.

You need quotes around the array key.

 

replace=array(",");
      $sku_init=$row_itm['itm_sku'];
      $sku=str_replace($replace," ",$sku_init);

This still doesn't work. $sku still has commas in it. Here's the problem- One of my SKUs is "Steve's Shipper CD,WS,SL". Most of the SKUs are just "Steve's Hat" and that's fine. But I output to a CSV, so I get "Steve's Shipper, CD, WS, SL" and what I need is "Steve's Shipper CD WS SL" to aboid borking the CSV forever.

 

This code above runs, but it doesn't change anything. The SKU still has ","s

Can you echo out the original $sku_init, and then the $sku results and post them.  Your code should work.

What are you actually trying to do? As far as I know, the proper way to store values that contain the delimiter in a CSV file is to put the value in quotes.

 

Something like:

"Foo, bar, baz",test,hello

Stupid- I meant to strip the commas out of another variable. Ugh. Works now. Thanks!

SKU BEFORE STR REPLACE Three Seas Ship-CR,WC,DC

SKU AFTER STR REPLACE  Three Seas Ship-CR WC DC

 

There we go.

 

With code:

 

$replace=array(",");
	$desc_init=$row_itm[itm_desc];
	echo "SKU BEFORE STR REPLACE $desc_init <br/>";
	$desc=str_replace($replace," ",$desc_init); //A few SKUs have commas in them. They drive the CSV bonkers. We pull them here.
	echo "SKU AFTER STR REPLACE $desc <br/>";
	echo "PRE EXPLODE NOTES ARE: $notes <br/>";
