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

but the result is a null array..

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

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.
