In PHP, you can replace symbols in a text string using the str_replace()
function. This function searches for a specified symbol or string of symbols within a given text string and replaces them with a new symbol.
Here is an example of how to use str_replace()
to replace a symbol in a text string:
1 2 3 |
$text = "Hello world!"; $newText = str_replace("!", "?", $text); echo $newText; |
In the above example, we replace the exclamation mark symbol (!) in the $text string with a question mark symbol (?). The resulting $newText string will be "Hello world?".
You can also use str_replace()
to replace multiple symbols at once by providing arrays as the search and replacement parameters. Here is an example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
$text = "Hello, <<name>>!"; $search = array("<<name>>", "!"); $replacement = array("John", "?"); $newText = str_replace($search, $replacement, $text); echo $newText; |
In this case, the $search array contains the symbols "<>" and "!". The $replacement array contains the texts "John" and "?". The function will search for both symbols in the text string and replace them accordingly. The resulting $newText string will be "Hello, John?".
Remember that the str_replace()
function is case-sensitive. If you want to perform a case-insensitive replacement, you can use the str_ireplace()
function instead.
