PHP - Moved: Help!! Im So Frustrated With This Code!!

What I want to do should be very simple, but I've stared at code all day and can't grasp it.

I want to replace the "&" character, if it exists, with the "&" string.

What I have is:

Code: [Select]
$name = $RESULT['ACCOUNT_NAME'];
$cleaned = str_replace('&','& ', $name);
echo $cleaned;
It doesn't crash or anything, but it doesn't work. I have several ampersand (&) characters in my output that aren't getting replaced.

Any help is appreciated.

So I started learning PHP a few days ago and I sort of dived right in trying to make things, this was my first program (a simple BMI calculator)

Okay but now I wanted to make hangman, and I'm just...so lost, like, I don't even know how to go about it. Here is the code I have so far (some of it commented out because it was just "ideas" I had). Here is what I have so far:

So can somebody give me some direction? Is there anything I wrote that is REALLY dumb and unnecessary? Basically I'm trying to find a way to:
- log the guesses (how can I do this if I don't have an array, or nothing to put the values in...do I need to duplicate anything?)
- check to see if a guess has already been made
- replace the underscores with the letter corresponding to that position.

and hell I don't even know what else, just trying to get it to work
