[Resolved] Removing minus signs

[dougmcc1]

How come this doesn't work?

$var=ereg_replace("[-]","",$var);

or this?

$var=ereg_replace("-","",$var);

I want to edit out minus signs in a particular field in my form but niether of the above works. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Either should work (so the problem's not there, then), but
$var = str_replace("-", "", $var);
would be a lot more straightforward.

Yeah someone told me that str_replace was faster too so I switched to that. And the problem was in the way I was using my variables. Thanks for your reply.
