Replace??

I have this code:

PHP Code:

---

$fcode = str_replace(" ( ", "(", $fcode);
$fcode = str_replace(" ) ", ")", $fcode);
$fcode = str_replace(" . ", ".", $fcode);
$fcode = str_replace(" ' ", "'", $fcode);
$fcode = str_replace(" , ", ",", $fcode);

I don't think str_replace accepts multi-deliminators, but what about others like preg_replace, or ereg_replace? Do any of these do this? And what would the syntax look like?

I'm looking for soemthing like:

Quote:

---

$fcode = _replace(" ( \ ) \ . \ ' \ , \", "(\)\.\'\,\", $fcode);

---

Is there anything like this?

this is from php.net

preg_replace vs. str_replace.
str_replace is about 25% faster on a single match in a short string, and
gets increasingly faster as the number of matches increases. (It hits 38%
on the second match...) Whole-script times for 10000 matches in a loop
only showed 14% differences in runtime: if you're running a script that
does ONE match as a test, you'll see absolutely no difference in runtime

I don't think that helps me...

leave it like you have it.

thats what i was going for :)

Ah, I gotcha now. I just thought there might have been a way to do it without so many lines.

Thanks for the assistance. :)

no prob
