Re: Re: replacing a null value using str_replace

Hi Dan - It looked good and I tried it, but it still didn't work. Adam - to answer your questions it is an array and the while code does work. Any other ideas? I can stick with the while loop, I'm just curious if I can do it with str_replace and if that would be faster. Thank you both for your replies.
