How do I replace text in a string

[webqueen79]

I have a result that I retrieved from a database and I need to split the content on the "|" and replace it with "<br>".

How do I do that?

str_replace

To replace '|' with '<br>' do:

$str = str_replace('|', '<br>', $str);

Edit:

Posted too late. Look into explode() too in case you may need it.
