replacing dot

[FrEaKmAn]

Hi

Can I somehow replace dot(.) in php somehow? I'm always getting errors...

You didn't say where the dot was causing you problems.

str_replace (http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php)

[FrEaKmAn]

for example

str_replace('.', '-', $text);

[oracle128]

That syntax works fine for me. What error are you getting?

sorry, I put wrong example, so here is the part of my script


function convert_symbols($var){
$chars = array(
":" => "-", ";" => "-", "_" => "-", "/" => "-", "+" => "", "%" => "", "&" => "",
"$" => "", "€" => "", "@" => "", "{" => "", "}" => "", "(" => "", ")" => "", "#" => "",
"?" => "", " " => "-", "-----" => "-", "----" => "-", "---" => "-", "--" => "-");
return strtolower(str_replace(array_keys($chars),$chars,$ var));
}


I can't put dot into ""

Using your function, I still had no problem using a period as either the character to be replaced (array key), or the replacement (array value).
