Having read the various methods of finding and replacing one character with another, I settled on preg_replace as my best choice, but this function doesn't accept a space in the regular expression slot. What can I do to get around this, or is there a better function than the one I selected? $statement=preg_replace(" ","<br>",$original,19); Warning: Empty regular expression in /home/www/host/document.php on line 71 --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
