Question on Preg_replace()

currently on my site I have multiple preg_replace functions in use, ie.
[PHP]
$var="Hello Welcome to my site\nIt squote s cool right";
$var=preg_replace("/\n\","<br>",$var);
$var=preg_replace("/ squote /","'",$var);
echo $var;
[PHP]
How could I combine them into one preg_replace function?

use str_replace instead of costly preg_*

You certainly don't need preg_replace()

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

  $var="Hello Welcome to my site\nIt squote s cool right";

  $var=str_replace(" squote ", "'", nl2br($var));

  echo $var;

?>
