One regular expression to replace a - by a blank : 

preg_replace('/-/',' ',$string);

You miss the regular expression delimiters.

Behold the strtr:

$test = strtr($test, '-', ' ');

Btw, your original code has TEST-test, that needs to be wrapped in quotes:

$test = 'TEST-test';

Use php str_replace() for this thing

$test = 'TEST-test';
$test=str_replace('-', ' ', $test);
echo $test;
