PHP str_replace examples
In the examples, we will see the most common case where we can use str_replace, and then we will see the cases where the parameters are arrays:
The most commonly used form of str_replace is to change all spaces in " " to "", this is used in the inputs for registration.
$sin_espacios= str_replace(' ', '', $input);
Let’s see what happens when $replace and $search are arrays.
//blastcoding.com ejemplo de str_replace $search(array) y $replace(array)
$mystring ="Aquí me pongo a cantar,
al compás de la vigüela
que el hombre que lo desvela
una pena extraordinaria,
como la ave solitaria
con el cantar se consuela.";
$newstring = str_replace(array("solitaria","pongo"),array("aislada","situo"),$mystring);
print_r($newstring);
Aquí me situo a cantar, al compás de la vigüela que el hombre que lo desvela una pena extraordinaria, como la ave aislada con el cantar se consuela.
If all the parameters are arrays, we could have an example like the following:
str_replace con todos los parametros siendo array
$buscar = array("a", "b", "c");
$reemplazar = array("x", "y", "z");
$frase = array("La rapidez del abecedario.", "abc abc abc");
$fraseNueva = str_replace($buscar, $reemplazar, $frase);
print_r($fraseNueva);
Array
(
[0] => Lx rxpidez del xyezedxrio.
[1] => xyz xyz xyz
)
str_replacecan be used in conjunction with PHP’s trim function for form inputs.
