Re: String replace

No, str_replace should be used in this case. No point in using regex if you don't need it, and it will reduce performance. Pavel Jartsev wrote:

Hello, Can any one please tell me how to replace a matched string in a array with another variable.. suppose..i am having the sentence in the array like this.. $Question= "Queen is a Good girl"; $Quest=explode(" ",$Question); i need to replace the "girl" string with "actor" in the appropriate place..how do i go about with this..

U can try 'preg_replace()'-function: $Question = "Queen is a Good girl"; $Quest = explode( " ", preg_replace( '/girl/', 'actor', $Question )); Now, $Quest[4] should be 'actor', not 'girl' anymore. Hope this helps. :)
