Hello...
Try this...
$pat = array("\", "@", "*", "&", "%");
$with = (_) \\What ever you want...
$car_year = str_replace ($pat, $with, stripslashes($car_year));
echo $car_year;
This would work with ONE VARIABLE...
I suppose maybe you could make the
Variables($car_type,$car_model,$car_year) into an array. Then
ereg_replace the new array,
then turn it back to the variables...I think it's explode...and
implode....
Never tried it....
Good Luck
Dan
