The original request was: "the text-to-replace is just in a var named
$text1".
I read that to mean you'd already extracted "<^JIM_JONES>" into $text1
<?php
function replace($string, $search)
{
$string = strstr($string, $search)
$string = preg_replace("/(<|\^|>)/", "",$string);
$string = str_replace("_", " ", $string);
$string = ucwords(strtolower($string));
$string = str_replace(" ", "-", $string);
return $string;
}
$text = 'My name is <^JIM_JONES> and I like ice cream';
$search_string = '<^JIM_JONES>';
echo replace($text, $search_string);
?>
