PHP has a few ways of doing this. The most obvious function is str_replace(). But it might be a bit limiting as you don't know the number of occurrences. http://www.php.net/str_replace The better function to consider is preg_replace() which uses regular expressions. But this takes a bit more work, as it requires you to learn how to craft your regular expressions. http://sg.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Read up on these functions, and post back here if you need more information. Thanks! Hi Israar

Storing Data in a Database - Lastly, you need to get yourself a database. PHP programs are not going to be very useful, if they are not able to store and retrieve data .

If not, MySQL database is also free to download from www.mysql.com. just mind the spellings rest it is a good tutorial for quickly learning how to start with php 4.
