    Default replacing elements in a string

    I changed the post in the wrong section and posted it here.

    I'm trying to encrypt a string when you enter a phrase into the program. The following code compiles with no errors but it doesn't change the a when its there to "00". The phrase is printed out again telling me that the if statement is working but its not replacing it and I have no idea how to fix this. This is just a fun project for me but this is really frustrating me...

    		input.getUserInput(choice);
     
    		if (input.input.equals("1")) {
     
    			pdphrase = input.getUserInput(dphrase);
     
    			if (pdphrase.contains("a")) {
     
    				pdphrase.replaceAll("a", "00");
     
    			        System.out.println(pdphrase);
     
     
    			}		
     
    		}

    P.S. dphrase means decrypted phrase and pdphrase means post decryption phrase.
