Problem with ereg_replace

[scialom]

Hi,

I have a wired problem with ereg_replace when I try to to remove spaces from a string:

$dir_name = "test dir";
ereg_replace (' ','_',$dir_name);

Doesn't work...

Any idea?

Thanks,
Assaf

$dir_name = "test dir";
$new_name = ereg_replace (' ', '_', $ dir_name);

And why in the world would you want to use ereg_replace here? [man]str_replace/man would certainly be much more efficient.
