Help with str_replace

[zPluGGy]

$query="select * from news order by id DESC";

$result=mysql_query($query)
    or die(mysql_error());

while ($row=mysql_fetch_object($result)) { 

str_replace("Thetext","Hello",$row->content);
echo "<table width='463' height='30' border='0' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='1'>
  <tr bgcolor='#FFFFFF'> 
    <td height='28' valign='top'> <p><font size='1' face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><strong>$row->date $row->title - <strong>$row->posted</strong> - <br>
        </strong>$row->content</font></p></td></tr><tr><td><font size='1' face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><a href='index.php?action=comments&arid=$row->id'>Comments</a></font></td>
  </tr>
</table><br>";
}

Now, why doesn't that str_replace wanna work?

str_replace doesnt affect the original file. You have to assign a new variable for it (or use the same as I did in the snippet):

$row->content=str_replace("Thetext","Hello",$row->content);
