replace ?

[Anon]

Hi i have following problem, and i really don't knwo why its failing:

<?
$var = "111.000..25";
echo $var = ereg_replace("..",",",$var);

?>

I want to replace the 2 dows (..) with a colon (,). But when i do it the way shown above it gives me following result:

",,,,,,,,,,,"

But why ? what im a doing wrong...

thanks in advance

Caution!
the . stands for any char. You have to backslash it: try ".."
