i tried:

$keywords = eregi_replace(" and ", ",", $FAQKeyword);
$keywords = eregi_replace(" or ", ",", $FAQKeyword);

but it doesnt work either because it wont replace for and...only does it for "or"...any other suggestions?

How about this?

$FAQKeyword = eregi_replace(" and ", ",", $FAQKeyword);
$FAQKeyword = eregi_replace(" or ", ",", $FAQKeyword);

$keywords = $FAQKeyword;

Anon

nope that didnt work either....

Are you sure that string you are trying to replace is exactly like your statements?

ex. " and " has to have space before and after it

$FAQKeyword = eregi_replace(" and ", ",", $FAQKeyword);

or you can try adding a backslash

$FAQKeyword = eregi_replace(" and ", "\,", $FAQKeyword);

This is what my code looks like and it works:

$title=stripslashes($title);
$title=eregi_replace('\"', '', $title);
$title=eregi_replace("\'", '', $title);
$lead = stripslashes($lead);
$articleContent = stripslashes($articleContent);
$authorFirst=stripslashes($authorFirst);
$authorFirst=eregi_replace('\"', '', $authorFirst);
$authorFirst=eregi_replace("\'", '', $authorFirst);
$authorLast=stripslashes($authorLast);
$authorLast=eregi_replace('\"', '', $authorLast);
$authorLast=eregi_replace("\'", '', $authorLast);
