I have a small sentence:
$sentence = "I have a Dog.";
$new_sentence = str_replace("Dog", "bird", $sentence );Is there a way to have 2 or more str_replace() work in that same sentence?
I'm trying to replace "have" to "want". While at the same time replacing "Dog" with "bird".
Do I just need to do multiple str_replace() functions? Or is there a way to do it once?
http://uk2.php.net/preg-replace
<?php
$string = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.';
$patterns[0] = '/quick/';
$patterns[1] = '/brown/';
$patterns[2] = '/fox/';
$replacements[2] = 'bear';
$replacements[1] = 'black';
$replacements[0] = 'slow';
echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);
?>
str_replace() can also accept arrays for the search and replace parameters.
$search = array('quick', 'brown', 'fox');
$replace = array('slow', 'black', 'bear');
echo str_replace($search, $replace, $string);
