Replacing all dots with a space for all text content outpt inside a PHP ".substr()"

Question

I have a PHP string that looks like this:

$text_output .= '<strong>'.substr($k, $pos).'</strong>'."\n";

The substr($k, $pos) outputs, for example, a text looking like this:

Well.this.is.quite.a.long.sentence.considering.all.the.dots.used.here.within.wich.will.break.page.if.it.is.too.long

This means it often make the page non mobile-friendly if the sentence it outputs is very long. Therefore I need to add a piece of code that replaces all dots "." with a space " ". So in the end the output I would want is this:

Well this is quite a long sentence considering all the dots used here within wich will break page if it is too long

Try with

str_replace("."," ",substr($k, $pos));

Thanks @Maninderpreet Singh ! This worked great: Changing **FROM** `.substr($k, $pos).` **TO** `.str_replace("."," ","$k, $pos").` – panterara Apr 05 '16 at 06:59
a followup question I am trying to place **str_replace** with same result (meaning to replace all dots "." with space " ". How can I add **str_replace** in this query `$read['name']` ? – panterara Apr 05 '16 at 10:35
do something like this str_replace("."," ",substr($k, $pos)); @panterara – Maninderpreet Singh Apr 05 '16 at 10:38
`str_replace("."," ",$read['name']);` worked great, tried it before but forgot the echo in front of it so nothing was outputed ;) – panterara Apr 05 '16 at 10:50
mark as right answer;) @panterara – Maninderpreet Singh Apr 05 '16 at 10:51
