str_replace of array not working

I have a form to capture some data which should write the captured data to PHP variables which are then written to a template replacing the appropriate variables in the external file using str_replace array.

But…. for some reason the PHP opens the file, finds and replaces the first array item correctly but then replaces the remaining ones with NULL / Blank – as if the remaining form data is not being saved to the variables or something. Can anybody please tell me why the first array item is replaced properly but not the others and how to fix it?

[B]PHP Portion of code in the form capture document[/B]

[code=php]<?php

$busName = $_POST[“busName”];

$busNume = $POST[“busNume”];

$stDir = $POST[“streetDir”];

$busStreet = $POST[“busStreet”];

$stType = $POST[“streetType”];

$busCity = $POST[“busCity”];

$busState = $POST[“busState”];

$busZip = $POST[“busZip”];

?>

<?php

if (!empty($_POST))

{

$myFile = “template.php”;

$file_contents = file_get_contents($myFile);

$fh = fopen($myFile, ‘w’) or die(“can’t open file”);

$varibs = array(‘*bizname’,’*hn’,’*dir’,’*street’,’*stt’,’*busCity’,’*busState’,’*busZip’);

$details = array($busName,$busNume,$stDir,$busStreet,$stType,$busCity,$busState,$busZip);

$file_contents = str_replace($varibs,$details,$file_contents);

fwrite($fh, $file_contents);

fclose($fh);

}

?>[/code]
