RE: [PHP] preg_replace() 'space' the final frontier

$statement=preg_replace("/ /","<br>",$original,19); Matthew Walker Ecommerce Project Manager Mountain Top Herbs -----Original Message----- From: hugh danaher [mailto:hdanaher@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 12:35 PM To: Php-General Subject: [PHP] preg_replace() 'space' the final frontier What I am trying to do is have a line of text break at a "space" after reading 19 words. Having read the various methods of finding and replacing one character with another, I settled on preg_replace as my best choice, but this function doesn't accept a space in the regular expression slot. What can I do to get around this, or is there a better function than the one I selected? $statement=preg_replace(" ","<br>",$original,19); Warning: Empty regular expression in /home/www/host/document.php on line 71 --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
