how do I replace $ ?

[Anon]

Hi there,
I'm trying to replace the $ in Smart$Fast Chargers with a / (so it becomes Smart/Fast Chargers)
I've tried this:

$pat2 = "\$";
$repl2 = "/";

$table_name_fetched2 = ereg_replace( $pat2, $repl2, $table_name_fetched1 );

but then:
Smart$Fast Chargers

becomes:
Smart$Fast Chargers/

yikes! can someone help me out?
thanks alot,
Patty

$table_name_fetched1 = 'Smart$Fast Chargers';

$pat2 = "\$";
$repl2 = "/";

$table_name_fetched2 = ereg_replace( $pat2, $repl2, $table_name_fetched1 );

print $table_name_fetched2 ."<br>";

I'd just use my good buddy preg_replace...

$pat = "Smart\$Fast Chargers";
$pat preg_replace("$", "/", $pat);
echo "$pat";

That should work and print: Smart/Fast Chargers
