maybe this is duplicate but i did't find good solution.
I have array
$list = Array
(
[hi] => 0
[man] => 1
);
$string="hi man, how are you? man is here. hi again."
It should produce $final_string = "0 1, how are you? 1 is here. 0 again."
How can I achieve it with smart way? Many thanks.
Off of the top of my head:
$find = array_keys($list);
$replace = array_values($list);
$new_string = str_ireplace($find, $replace, $string);
Can be done in one line using strtr()
.
Quoting the documentation:
If given two arguments, the second should be an array in the form array('from' => 'to', ...)
. The return value is a string where all the occurrences of the array keys have been replaced by the corresponding values. The longest keys will be tried first. Once a substring has been replaced, its new value will not be searched again.
To get the modified string, you'd just do:
$newString = strtr($string, $list);
This would output:
0 1, how are you? 1 is here. 0 again.
Demo.
preg_replace
may be helpful.
<?php
$list = Array
(
'hi' => 0,
'man' => 1
);
$string="hi man, how are you? Man is here. Hi again.";
$patterns = array();
$replacements = array();
foreach ($list as $k => $v)
{
$patterns[] = '/' . $k . '/i'; // use i to ignore case
$replacements[] = $v;
}
echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);
$text = strtr($text, $array_from_to)
