    Replace a character in a string variable

    Hi group -

    I have a variable which is created from an input form.
    After concatenating the input I want, I end up with a variable named
    $all which looks like this :
    delegatecountry ,delegatefname, delegatelname,d elegatebname

    I want to take this string and replace all the commas with this :
    </th><th>

    So - I tried this :

    $inside="</th><th>";
    $newall = str_replace($in side, ",", $all);


    But - it doesn't work.
    PHP: str_replace - Manual
    http://ca3.php.net/str_replace
    Replace all occurrences of the search string with the replacement string


    What am I doing wrong ?

      First 2 parameters the wrong way round, should be:

      $newall = str_replace(',' , $inside, $all);
