From CodeCodex

This will run through a section of text and change all occurrences of a word into something else using the PHP str_replace function.


<?php

// The text string
$text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";

// The word we want to replace
$oldWord = "brown";

// The new word we want in place of the old one
$newWord = "blue";

// Run through the text and replaces all occurrences of $oldText
$text = str_replace($oldWord , $newWord , $text);

// Display the new text
echo $text;

?>
