Question

here is a simple example:

$correction = "game";
$text ="Hello this is an example of a $word that starts with a $dollar sign";
$text = str_replace("\$word",$correct,$text);

if I echo $text it will say : hello this is an example of a game that starts with a dollar sign. that works just fine.
Now I want to be able to change any word that starts with a dollar sign into game
so it will change all the words that start with $ and turn them into the word “game”
any ideas please ?

You’ll need a regex for this:

$text = preg_replace( '/\$[a-z]+/i', 'game', $text);
