Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75172&edit=1 ID: 75172 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: hyman dot omg at gmail dot com Summary: $replace_pairs can't be used instead of $to and $from -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Strings related Operating System: centos6.5 PHP Version: 5.6.31 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Please read all the docs, not just parts of it. > If given three arguments, this function returns a copy of str where all > occurrences of each (single-byte) character in from have been translated to the > corresponding character in to > 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 array keys have been replaced by the corresponding values. That is, strtr has two different behaviors: character replacement by passing two strings or string replacement by passing one array.

Test script: --------------- <?php $str = 'I loved you'; $from = 'love'; $to = 'lOvE'; var_dump($result1 = strtr($str, $from, $to));//I lOvEd yOu var_dump($result2 = strtr($str, [$from=>$to]));//I lOvEd you var_dump($result1===$result2);//false Expected result: ---------------- I lOvEd you I lOvEd you true Actual result: -------------- I lOvEd yOu I lOvEd you false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75172&edit=1
