check string in variable using PHP.help..thanks.

[perhapscwk]

If i use sql statement such as

select * from table1, then store all the product code
as $prodcode.

Now i want to write something, such as
$newprod2 = substr($prodcod e,2)
then it will store all into $newprod2 but all data only with the first 2 char.

But if i want to ..for example, for all productcode, if there is POxxx or xxPOxx, etc. If there is a PO in product code, then change it to a new code such as
"FGFGF".

how to do this?


thanks.

You may find str_replace useful.

no..any other methods?

preg_replace (what else can I say?)

Can suggest something else if you explain it a bit.

Lol, yeah you need to tell us why you can't use our solutions, and give some parameters for a solution. None of us want to waste time just guessing so we need some detail.
