string manipulation

[poncho4u]

Hi. I have a table called ME_323. For aesthetics I refer to the same thing on my pages as ME 323( say $code). I am passing this variable ( ME 323) along two pages. On the last page I want to insert into the table ME_323 by using $code to refer to the table.
How do I manipulate $code ( ME 323) to make it become ME_323.

Take your pick. str_replace() or strtr().

How will this be carried out?I guess I am a newbie at string manipulation.

Well if you want to replace the space in ME 323 with an underscore, use str_replace like weedpacket suggested.

$new_variable = str_replace(" ", "_", $code);

Here's the link to str_replace() at php.net. That page will give you full documentation on using str_replace() including its parameters and user comments. When in doubt on how to use a function, check php.net 😉
