$nm = ereg_replace( " ", " ", $nm );

I'am debugging a script where it doesn't work!

$nm has been passed with in-line parameters (read-only ???),
but it does not work also in the following way:

// $nm is "test with blank.pdf"

$newVar = $nm;
$tryIt = ereg_replace( " ", " ", $newVar );

// $tryIt is always "test with blank.pdf"

in another script it works (???) with the same simple substitution,

many thanks,
Simone Grassi.
