I have a url that ends with _s.jpg. The URL is set to a variable, and it called later on. Before it's called I need to slice the URL and remove _s.jpg and add _o.jpg.

$img_src = $data['picture'];

This returns my url 

http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/416968_4827318927507_851357969_s.jpg

I need the $img_src URL changed and then put into a new variable $new_img_src

I know I can do it with jQuery, but I need it done in PHP.

Thanks

    Use [`str_replace()`](http://php.net/str_replace) for simplicity, or [`preg_replace`](http://php.net/preg_replace) for asserting the structure. – mario Oct 29 '12 at 23:17

$new_img_src = str_replace('_s.jpg', '_o.jpg', $data['picture']);

this ought to work...
