Hi,

I have this string:
$i = "&xxx=123&ddd=ttt"

I want to replace the first & with ? how do I do it?

Thanks,

This will replace all of the "&" and I need to replace only the first one.

Thanks,

if it's always in the first position you could just use substr

$new_str = '&' . substr($old_var,1);

ereg_replace("^&","?",$i);
