Strip out "-" from variable

I have a variable which has this structure:

$catname = 'this-is-my-category';

How can I strip the "-" and get:

$catname = 'this is my category';

$catname = str_replace("-", " ", $catname);

For character-wise replacing the ideal function is strtr:

$catname = strtr($catname, "-", " ");

This makes less effort if you later decide to replace e.g. underscores too.

$catname = str_replace('-', ' ', $catname);

Use the str_replace function like this:

$catname = str_replace('-', ' ', $catname);

This would replace every occurence of - with in your string.
