Replace a character in a string variable

Hi group -

I have a variable which is created from an input form.
After concatenating the input I want, I end up with a variable named
$all which looks like this :
delegatecountry,delegatefname,delegatelname,delega tebname

I want to take this string and replace all the commas with this :
</th><th>

So - I tried this :

$inside="</th><th>";
$newall = str_replace($inside, ",", $all);


But - it doesn't work.
http://ca3.php.net/str_replace

What am I doing wrong ?

First 2 parameters the wrong way round, should be:

$newall = str_replace(',', $inside, $all);
