Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48072&edit=1 ID: 48072 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: php at richardneill dot org Summary: wish: extra strtr features similar to GNU strtr -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: Strings related Operating System: all PHP Version: 6CVS-2009-04-24 (CVS) -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Well, deleting characters is already possible, e.g. strtr("hello world", ['o' => '', 'd' => '']) Squeezing is not, but you could write your own userland implementation. If you still feel this would be a good feature addition, please pursue the RFC process[1]. [1] <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-24 17:17:54] php at richardneill dot org Description: ------------ Can we have the extra features added to strtr() that are in the GNU strtr? They'd be really useful. In particular, the ability to delete certain characters from the string [currently we must resort to str_replace, which gets ugly], and to squeeze repeated characters to a single one [requires preg_replace() at the moment] This could be done by adding some predefined constants such as STRTR_DELETE, STRTR_SQUEEZE_REPEATS Reproduce code: --------------- In GNU tr, we can do things like echo "hello world" | tr -s "l" #results in "helo world" (duplicate 'l' removed) echo "hello world" | tr -d 'od' ('o' and 'd' removed) #results in "hell wrl" echo "hello world" | tr -s "wl" "zl" (translate AND squeeze) #results in "helo zorld" (Support for character classes might be nice too) Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48072&edit=1
