why if replace 2?
REPLACE(content,’b>’,’strong>’);
and REPLACE(content,’i>’,’b>’);

in one code.

Yes. Sometime, replace is a very good solution.

First we need to understand that we need to replace the value in database or we need to replace the value in front end only.

If we need to replace the value in database, then we have to use replace command of mysql. But if we want to replace the value for front end only, then we can use only str_replace of php (if we are using php script).

I have been using this for a while but I cannot get the syntax right with the WHERE included

UPDATE [tbl]
SET [field1] = REPLACE(field1, ‘foo’ , ‘foo2′ )
WHERE ( field2 like ‘foo3′)

Amazing how much people don’t know about MySQL built in functions.

Anyone who stores their presentation code in a database without differentiating the tags from the text using HTMLENTITIES() deserves to have this happen.

You, sir, deserve what you get.

The PHP function htmlentities() will make the > into a html entity that your browser wont parse into an element.

@Tom: that’s a somewhat controversial statement. See the benchmark at http://net-beta.net/ubench/
