Re: replace digits

Hi Marc, try this: $string = preg_replace("/^41/", "0", $string); http://www.php.net/preg_replace / and / = delimiters ^ = start of string (line in multiline mode) So, it translates as, "replace a leading 41 in $string with 0". ..or try the ereg function, which has already been mentioned.
