replacing a dash

[fnbcprog]

How is a dash replaced with a space in a variable? Using preg_replace or ereg_replace??

And what is the pattern match??

[stolzyboy]

you can use str_replace like

<?
$string= "This-is-a-string-with-dashes";
$newstring = str_replace("-", " ", $string);
echo $newstring;
?>

will output

This is a string with dashes
