Replacing

[SP8600]

Can anyone tell me why after sever replce strings it does nothing, here is the example code:

else {
	if ($_POST["type"] == "english") {
		$output = ereg_replace ("a","m",$_POST["convert"]);
		$output = ereg_replace ("b","e",$_POST["convert"]);
		

If it is only the first one it will work but after that will not.

why aren't you using str_replace()?

I was but tried the others aswell, but str_replace still did the same thing

[LordShryku]

Well, ereg_replace is for regular expressions. Either way, you're just replace from the POST content over and over. Try this instead.

$output = ereg_replace ("a","m",$_POST["convert"]);
$output = ereg_replace ("b","e",$output);

Thanks loads its working now.

Is there a way to change a space to something else though?

[LordShryku]

str_replace(" ","Something Else",$string);

FYI - str_replace is a bit faster then ereg_replace since it doesn't require using the regular expression engine.
