note 82563 added to function.str-replace

An easier and safer way to use str_replace with arrays without the risk of order messups is by creating an array. The title would be the string to search for, and the value would be the value to replace it with. From there, it's a matter of using a foreach loop. e.g. <?php $template = "The {color} {object} is in {location}"; $array = array( '{object}' => 'Ball'; '{color}' => 'Red'; '{location}' => 'The Playground'; ); foreach ($array as $search=>$replace) { $string = str_replace($search, $replace, $template); } print $string; // Returns "The Red Ball is in The Playground". ?> ---- Server IP: 92.48.100.16 Probable Submitter: 90.202.162.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82563 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82563 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82563 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
