Hi there,

Please help me out in the following...

<?php
$is='is';
echo eregi_replace(" ".$is." "," ","This is a test string which contains
is in dismissal");
?>


Actually I want to replace "is" alone from the string and not all the
words that contains is...

I have tried with "^".$is."$" ---> but yields nothing....


thanks and regards,
Desikan
