Replacing a space with -

[JSHINER]

If I have $town='Town Name' and it displays "Town Name" how can I get it to display "Town-Name" instead.

uh... preg_replace(' ','-');  Im not sure if that is exact, but you get the point.

Preg_replace doesnt work ???if not try eregi_replace

[darkfreaks]

Try:

<?php
$hometown="Home Town";
$hometown = str_replace(' ', '-', $hometown); // Replaces the whitespace with a dash
echo ($hometown);






?>

code please?

 

I'd guess it's something like

 

<?php
echo $town;             // --> Home town
?>

Using a regex for such little work is a waste of time. Regular expressions need to be compiled and surely for small operations are slower then pure string manipulation. Using str_replace() is a lot better in this case.

 

Also im not good with regex but that doesnt seem a regex pattern.
