I think you'd better use regular expression to replace the word Regards, Dick -----Original Message----- From: Kencana [mailto:bluesky_dyx@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 5:12 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: question about str_replace function Hi all, I got a doubt about the str_replace function. <?php $string="avenue 1, ave 1"; $words=str_replace ("ave","avenue", $string); echo $words; ?> the php code above will return me "avenuenue 1, avenue 1". i expect the result will be "avenue 1, avenue 1". any idea of how can i get such result?
