Need help in PHP string replace function

HI,

I have string "test 3.0 krish"

in the above string i want to replace space and .(dot) to "-". so that result should appear as : test-3-0-krishna.

is there any function to achiveve this.

 

$temp="test 3.0 krish";
$temp=str_replace(" ","-",$temp);
$temp=str_replace(".","-",$temp);

 

when i have multiple spaces in the string like : $temp="test 3.0 krish";
how to trim the spaces and put only one "-"

 

function format_string( $string )
{
	$string = preg_replace( "@ +@", " ", $string );
	return str_replace(array(' ', '.'), '-', $string );
}

echo format_string( 'a normal string' );
echo '<br />';
echo format_string( 'a  not  normal.string' );
