Hello all,
Hope you all had a nice weekend. Simple question, I think.
I would like to find all occurance of:
boy or boys
and replace it with:
girl or girls
respectively.
My problem is that using the str_replace function like this:
str_replace("boy","girl","$string");
turns boys into girls.
I guess I want an exact match or some fuzzy intelligent thing. Did I explain
myself well. This isn't so easy to write down.
Thanks in advance. Take care.
