using escape sequence

[otuatail]

Hi. I have a database table with one field having a string comment field.

 

I need to replace the '£'£ with &pound but I have tried this

 

$Comment = $row['Comment'];

$Comment = str_replace( $Comment, "£","£");

 

This just replaces the $Comment with a single character '£'

 

If the string says "I have a £ in my pocket" it should be replaced with

"I have a &pound in my pocket"

 

TIA

When in doubt, read the documentation.

You are doing it almost right, and the only issue is the mixed order of arguments in your code. I'm sure you will solve it in 5 seconds after taking a quick look at the documentation.
