can't see the error

obmon

can someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with the following?

// Print Information Right Pane
			$plusSignforFlash = "%2B";
			$replaceString = "+";
			$output = str_ireplace($plusSignforFlash,$replaceString, $body);
			echo "
				<p>"; echo nl2br($output); echo "</p>
			";

$body is a long_text field from a database table. In the text, there is a code used by flash to denote a special character. in this case %2B which returns the plus sign when loaded in flash. but in php i have to replace it with the actual plus sign...

please help

Sounds like flash is automagically decoding the escape sequence. PHP doesn't natively know to do this, so you'll have to run the data through a function such as [man]urldecode/man.

So would this work?:

// Print Information Right Pane 
            $output = urldecode($body); 
            echo " 
                <p>"; echo nl2br($output); echo "</p> 
            ";
