str_replace problem

[squiblo]

the following does not work

 

$old = "*(#01)*";
$new = "\";

$message = str_replace($old, $new, $message);

 

thanks

You're escaping the quote, It shouldn't even run.

 

Try:

$old = "*(#01)*";
$new = "\\";

$message = str_replace($old, $new, $message);

the following does not work

 

$old = "*(#01)*";
$new = "\";

$message = str_replace($old, $new, $message);

Here is the logic of it:

 

str_replace("replace this", "with this", "in this string");

 

$message shouldn't be in your str_replace. I'm not sure what you're trying to do though.

aebstract, He is simply assigning the result of the str_replace function to itself, thus no need for a temporary variable.
