Using variables with str_replace

[Anon]

I=m totally stuck, have searched the web alot and these forums, but I cant seem to get a good answer. What I want to do is use a variable as a value in str_replace.

Heres what I would like to do
$newoldgrants = str_replace(", 5",'',$p);

Instead of the 5, I would like to have a variable. So in other words I want to search and replace both static text and have a dynamic variable. Can anyone help me please

I'm pretty sure you can do this:

$num = "5";
$newoldgrants = str_replace(", $num",'',$p);

I´ve tried that, and although it doesn´t seem to complain about anything it doesn´t do anything either, probably because it doesn´t take the varible as a variable and there for can´t find the string... This is what confuses me 🙂

Hi!

Think I solved this by doing the string concat before the str_replace statement...

Like:
$num = "5";
$strSearchFor = ", ". $num;
$newoldgrants = str_replace($strSearchFor,'',$p);

Hope it works...
