Re: String Replacement

Seems to me that you've got what you want... If I'm reading you right, you want to keep plural words plural and singular words singular... so boys would become girls and boy would become girl. Well... if you just replace boy with girl you get that result... So I'm not seeing the problem... enlighten me? ;) --Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flint Doungchak" <Flint@netsolutionsllc.com> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 10:24 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] String Replacement > Hello all, > > Hope you all had a nice weekend.
