how to replace part of newfile

[mpc123]

Hi

I am creating some files of which are taken from database fields, the problem is the field in the database has £ in which is great as it is needed when in the browser page. The problem I have is when making the file is that it creates the newfile name as £ in the url rather than £. How do i replace PART of the field ['nightmare'] to make £ rather than $pound; please.

The line with the problem is

$newfile = ''. $file['whatever'].'/'. $file['whatever'].'-'. str_replace(' ','-',trim($file['nightmare'])) . '.php';

Thanks for any help

I'm bit a confused. You want someone to fixed that 1 line but never mention what is $file['whatever'] or $file['nightmare']?

Can you post a little more code? Right now it's just guessing.

HI I managed to sort it by using arrays with the string replace
For anyone else who would need it

$old = array(' ', '£');
$new = array('-', '£');

$newfile = ''. $file['whatever'].'/'. $file['whatever'].'-'. str_replace($old,$new,trim($file['nightmare'])) . '.php';
