    I am attempting to replace in an array (read in from a text file)
    wherever a "<j>" appears with the contents of a different array
    (filled from a different text file). It is returning "Array". What
    am I doing wrong?

    here is the code:

            //load text files into variables
            $formFile = "main.txt";
            $studInfoFile = "studinfo.txt";
            $rbJavaFile = "rbjava.txt";
            $stJavaFile = "test.txt";
            $rbFormFile = "rbform.txt";
            $testFile = "test.txt";
            
            //supress errors with @ and load text files into variables
            if (!$form = @file($formFile, 'r')) {
                    fail("Cannot open file: " . $formFile . "!");
            }
            if (!$studInfo = @file($studInfoFile, 'r')) {
                    fail("Cannot open file: " . $studInfoFile . "!");
            }
            if (!$rbjava = @file($rbJavaFile, 'r')) {
                    fail("Cannot open file: " . $rbjavaFile . "!");
            }
            if (!$stJava = @file($stJavaFile, 'r')) {
                    fail("Cannot open file: " . $stJavaFile . "!");
            }
            if (!$rbForm = @file($rbFormFile, 'r')) {
                    fail("Cannot open file: " . $rbFormFile . "!");
            }
            
            
            $newForm = str_replace("<j>",$stJava,$form);

            foreach ($newForm as $line) {
                    echo "$line\n";
            }
