note 95686 added to function.str-replace

I find it's much cleaner to perform the desired result that Wes is accomplishing by using simple array manipulation functions. Note that this is a PHP5.3+ example as I am using a lambda. <?php namespace Util; /** * Utility Class for working with text */ class Text { /** * Replace occurences of $replacements keys in $text with values from * the provided $replacements array * * @param array $replacements * @param string $text * @return string */ public function replace($replacements, $text) { $searchFor = array_keys($replacements); $replaceWith = array_values($replacements); // If the values are an array convert them to CSV $replaceWith = array_map(function($value) { if (is_array($value)) { return implode(',', $value); } return (string) $value; }, $replaceWith); return str_replace($searchFor, $replaceWith, $text); } } ?> I wish the parameters of array_map where $array, $callback. It would look a lot prettier like this I think: <?php $replaceWith = array_map($replaceWith, function($value) { if (is_array($value)) { return implode(',', $value); } return (string) $value; }); ---- Server IP: 72.55.140.6 Probable Submitter: 173.32.220.24 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95686 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95686 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95686 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
