Re: Another stupid one...

Just stop using ereg_replace where not needed and use str_replace instead - it's faster and you don't risk bumping into "key-chars" like you just did. While regexps are very useful when needed, people tend to use the same functions even when they don't need regexps just out of habit... There, now I said it! :-) Bogdan Liam Mackenzie wrote:

Hey all, got another dumb question :-) Output text is as follows: User : liam@i-redlands.net I do this: $results = ereg_replace("User :", '', $results); I get this: User : liam@i-redlands.net But when I do this: $results = ereg_replace("User", '', $results); I get this: : liam@i-redlands.net How do I remove the whole "User :" without removing all the damn colons?
