[SOLVED] str-rplace woe really simple

[mrheff]

hi i was wondering can i put a str replace in here

$dirname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['directory']));

instead of having to call the variable and do it there

 

also can i get rid of just an empty variable to stop my app creatingit in the root?

can i do this with a

if ($dir="";)then( argument )
else(perform procedure)

does anyone know the syntax for this plaese?

 

Ta for your time .... heff....

[per1os]

$dirname = str_replace("replacewhat", "replacewith", trim(stripslashes($_POST['directory'])));

if (empty($dir)) {
// argument here
}else {
    //procedure here
}
