For instance I want to replace "good", "goodes", "goodbye" to new words, but not change "togood". I use $word="good"; $ins="^".$word; str_place($ins,"newword",$line); but it does not work, any ideas? please reply this email. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
