replace character

[ukweb]

Hi, I would like all '_' in a string to be replaced with a space, how do I do this?

 

Basically the variable is $row_featured['address2'] and there are values such as 'rhos_on_sea' assigned to it, and when I echo it I want to echo it as 'rhos on sea' instead...

 

I'm guessing I use str_replace but I've played around and had no luck...

 

Thanks!

use str_replace

[darkfreaks]

<?php str_replace('_',' ', $row_featured);

echo ( $row_featured); ?>

If you lookup the function in the manual you'll see why that won't work.

The function returns the new string, your code will not accomplish anything.

<?php 
$row_featured= $_GET[address2];

$row_featured=str_replace('_',' ', $row_featured);

echo ( $row_featured); ?>

$town = $row_featured['address3'];
$town = str_replace('_',' ', $town);
echo $town;

 

Works fine... BUT I use $town in a repeat region in dreamweaver, and therefore the town stays the same for all records. How can I do this to work with the repeat region??!?!?! HELP!!!!

 

Thanks

<?php
$town = array($row_featured['address3'],$row_featured['adress2'],$row_featured['adress1']);
$town = str_replace('_',' ', $town);
echo $town;?>

 

note: echoing town will echo all row fields listed.IE if you have adress fields 1-3 it will echo adress fields 1-3.

lets just say we want to array one town instead of all towns then we would do

 

<?php
$town = array($row_featured['address3'],$row_featured['adress2'],$row_featured['adress1']);
$town = str_replace('_',' ', $town);

echo {"You are from:"($row_featured['address3']);}
else echo {"You are from:"($row_featured['address2']);} 
else echo {"You are from:"($row_featured['address1']);}





?>
