Strip out underscores, hyphens and .jpg for title and alt image tags

Is it possible to strip out underscores, hyphens and .jpg from the product image name for displaying in the title and alt tags on the results and detail pages.

This is the code which displays the image on the results page

<td class="WADAResultsEntry"><div class="WADAResultThumbArea"><a href="products_Detail.php?ProductID=<?php echo(rawurlencode($row_WADAproducts['ProductID'])); ?>" title="<?php echo $row_WADAproducts["ProductImage"]; ?>"><img src="images/productimages/<?php echo $row_WADAproducts["ProductImage"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_WADAproducts["ProductImage"]; ?>" width="200" border="0" class="WADAResultThumb" /></a></div>

A mouseover on any image shows the title but with all the underscores, hyphens and the extension .jpg but would like to strip these out. Can it be done?

you can do this using str_replace(), for example:

php:
<?php echo(str_replace(array("-","_",".jpg"),"",$row_WADAproducts["ProductImage"])); ?>

Hi, that gets rid of the underscores, hyphens and .jpg and leaves one long word.

Is it possible to put back an ordinary space where these have been removed?
