php quick question

[alex79]

i'm trying to replace the character "?" with "-" from $string using

$result=eregi_replace("?","-",$string");

but the result is a null array..
what i'm doing wrong?

thanks

don't need the last quote, also try str_replace instead

[alex79]

don't need the last quote

yes.. without last quote.. but how do i "escape" the ? character?

[Bro Media - BANNED FOR LIFE]

$result = str_replace("?", "-", $string);

[alex79]

$result = str_replace("?", "-", $string);

this is working..thank you

for future reference, you can escape characters with special meaning like a ? by putting a \ before them but when you use str_replace instead of eregi_replace it will not give special meaning to the ? so you don't need to escape it.
