PHP string replace of "&"

Question

I am currently replacing spaces with an underscore during an image upload. How can I also include it so it changes & to "and".

$newname = str_replace( ' ', '_', trim( strip_tags( $_POST['name'] ) ) ) . _ . $formKey->generateKey() . '_' . time() . '.jpg';

Kind of stuck with this one and don't know what to even attempt..

$newname = str_replace(array(' ', '&'), array('_', 'and'), ... );

I think you meant the other way around. Replace spaces with an underscore, not "&". Also, replace "&" with "and.

@cillosis The above replaces spaces with underscores and & with "and". PHP: str_replace
