Hi

I have a survey script that I need to hack, and cant work it out.

There is a string called $FORM{'survey'}, this is inputted from a form and the script removes any whitespace so it can be passed thru a url ( with me so far?? )

The problem is when I return $survey it has the underscores in the survey name and my client would like them removed.

Is there a way I can replace the underscore chars with white spaces ( this isnt going to be passed to the url its just for a html table title. )

well actually I know there is a way to do this but I cant work it out

I have pasted some of the code at the bottom so maybe someone could point me in the right direction??

Thanks

as you can see $survey is used for the table title ( html ) and also used to pass the address to the script thru the url.

I was hoping to make a copy of $survey ( $survey1??? ) and remove the _ chars and use $survey1 for my html title.

I have tried hardcoding $survey1 = "title here" and it worked fine

all I need to know is how to duplicate the $survey

Thanks Again

Edited 2002-06-13 by mirod: changed the title (was: URGTENT: Need to remove undescore characters) and added <p> tags
