replacing underscores with a Space in output

how to do this?

[seofan]

I have the following that capitalizes the Text Output for US state names:

<?php
$str = $state;
$str = strtoupper($str);
echo $str; // Prints State in CAPITALS
?>

How do I add a "replace" to this to also replace the underscores in the states such as south_dakota, north_dakota, etc?

Thanks

What you need is str_replace [us2.php.net].

Hello,

pretty simple actually, you use str_replace() [php.net]

$str = str_replace('_', ' ', strtoupper($str));

Birdman

quick, Lorax! :)

Thanks Lorax and Birdman - worked like a charm of course. I'm trying to get better at this. PHP isn't my particular forte - but my programmers are extremely busy and I'm trying to "help" on smaller projects - lol. Once I saw it I understood it, so at least that is a step forward. Thanks again.

I charge my clients twice as much when they try to help. ;)
