replace string character

[happyjourney]

hi,

I new to PHP. I would like to know how to combine these two statement into one!. Basically, I want to replace the _ and . in the customer field.

$customer3[1]=str_replace("_", " ", $customer3[1]);
$customer3[1]=str_replace(".", " ", $customer3[1]);

thanks,

keith

$array = array('_', '.');
$string = str_replace($array, ' ', $string);

echo preg_replace("/[_.]/i", "", $customer3[1]);
