I have a problem with str_replace(): when I try to use it in this way: $phrase = "INSERT INTO addressbook(user_id, email, name) VALUES( 10 , 4 , 0 ) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE(user_id= 10 )"; $healthy = array("10","4","0"); $yummy = array("FLA",".0797",".0700"); $newphrase = str_replace($healthy, $yummy, $phrase); echo 'www: '.$newphrase; Instead of getting what I would expected: INSERT INTO addressbook(user_id, email, name) VALUES( FLA , .0797 , .0700 ) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE(user_id= FLA ) I get this: INSERT INTO addressbook(user_id, email, name) VALUES( FLA , ..0700797 , .0700 ) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE(user_id= FLA ) could someone please tell me what is the mistake or error? thanks in advance
First 10 is replaced with FLA, then 4 with .0797, then both 0 are replaced with .0700. Make something like this: $phrase = "INSERT INTO addressbook(user_id, email, name) VALUES( {user_id},{email},{name}) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE(user_id= 10 )"; $healthy = array("{user_id}","{email}","{name}"); $yummy = array("FLA",".0797",".0700");
