note 81985 added to function.str-replace

If all you want to do is remove characters from a string, then this solution is about 7 times faster: /** * Removes certain characters from a string. * * @param string $string the string to be stripped. * @param string $chars a string containing all the characters to be removed from $string. May be empty. * @return string the original $string with the characters from $chars removed. */ function RemoveChars($string, $chars) { return isset($chars{0}) ? str_replace($chars{0}, "", strtr($string, $chars, str_pad($chars{0}, strlen($chars), $chars{0}))) : $string; } ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 24.132.180.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81985 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81985 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81985 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
