Str _replace Issue

Hey guys i have been trying to get the hang of the str_replace only have a little issue

i can have

PHP Code:


			
$thescripttemps = str_replace("<wordfilter>","&lt;wordfilter>",$thescripttemps);

Now that works andit will replace them with no issue, the issue i have is that $thescripttemps contains </wordfilter> and turns it in to <wordfilter aswell which i do not want. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I try that with this example

php Code:

echo str_replace("<wordfilter>","&lt;wordfilter>","<wordfilter>hwekljo </wordfilter>");
//returns: &lt;wordfilter>hwekljo </wordfilter>

I don't see a problem, maybe with the $thescripttemps?

Yes you was correct. Lucky you said that because i was on the verge of a give up thanks again. Simple mistakes have such a big impact on these scripts!
