Found Code: Replacing Runs of Commas

I found this gem today.

$special = str_replace(“,,,,”,”,”,$special);
$special = str_replace(“,,,”,”,”,$special);
$special = str_replace(“,,”,”,”,$special);

Pretty sweet.

Three replaces? try

$special = preg_replace(“/,,*/”,”,”,$special);

I think you missed the point of my post. I was posting a block of ridiculous code that I found while working on a web site.
