str_replace isn't returning what it should...

Good Day,

Sort of n00b here,

Any reason why this would not work?

<?
$p_static = " <strong>Mexico to Florida</strong>";
$p_static = str_replace(" <strong>", " <div style=\"highway\">", $p_static);
echo $p_static;
?>

on my server, it will return

 <div style="">Mexico to Florida</strong>

So where did "highway" go?

Much thanks,

Is this correct as I don't want to harass my host with my stupidity!

Thanks,

dagon

view source in your browser its their, its just html so the browser will interpret it not show it on screen

PHP/5.2.5:

&nbsp;<div style="*highway*">Mexico to Florida</strong>

Wow,

Sorry about this, it seems to be an error in Firefox:

(I installed WAMP locally for testing as well)

If you View Source for the page it shows up properly in the source viewer: <div style="highway">

BUT, if you only select a portion (say from Highway 1 to Driving lane just below it) and say View Selection Source, it only shows <div style="">

Craaaazy!

One thing to point out here is that "highway" is not a sensible value for the style= attribute, because it's not a CSS style rule. Are you sure you don't mean to use the class= attribute here? In that case, you might have more success if you don't have the asterisks.

And, incidentally, you haven't replaced the "</strong>" with "</div>" 🙂

Much thanks

highway had the asterix's as it was simply bolded & then converted to plain text
