preg_replace

[robthemanbob]

I am creating a XML RSS feed with php while pulling information from the dabase in a while $row loop I need to use a preg_replace to remove  a "&" from the database pull I have tried

 

 

utf8_encode($pagefile); 

$patterns[0] = ' & ';

$replacements[0] = '&';

str_replace($patterns, $replacements, $pagefile);

 

with no luck.

 

 

Any advice would be fantastic

It sounds like you need to use the proper tool for creating the XML. How is this being done--some code perhaps?

<?php
#preg_replace
echo preg_replace('~&~', '', 'hello w&orld');


#str_replace
echo str_replace('&', '', 'hello w&orld');
?>
