Can someone tell me why this line of code doesn't work for replacing
an ampersand?

$newstring = str_replace("&", "and", $newstring);

Works just fine here. What's in $newstring, both before and after the call?

Yes, but you'd do better to go get "The PHP Manual" on PHP and learn that
and a lot more for yourself.

HTH,

There is no problem in that particular line. Perhaps the problem is
elsewhere for example in initialization of $newstring ?

What exactly are you trying to do? And what is the content of $newstring?

Maybe a dumb question but are you trying to do this instead?
$newstring = str_replace("&", "&amp;", $newstring);
