Hi Matt, in preg_replace you should use regular expressions to specify what you search. The form is "/<regular expression>/<options>". So you regular expression is your text "test" and the option is "i" for insnsitive search. $print preg_replace("/test/i", "this is a test", "test TEST tEsT TEst") Just take a look at the online help: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php regards, carsten P.S. another way is the function eregi_replace() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php cs > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- cs > Von: Matthew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] cs > Gesendet: Dienstag, 3.
