I have string like
$text = "Hello :name its your :num_visit";
and Array
$attr = [ ":name" => "Danny", ":num_visit" => 6];
I want to replace $text's patterns like :name, :num_visit with given values in array (Array have same key names).
Is it possible with php?
Just use strtr() and pass the search/replacement array as second argument, .e.g
<?php
$text = "Hello :name its your :num_visit";
$attr = [":name" => "Danny", ":num_visit" => 6];
echo strtr($text, $attr);
?>
output:
Hello Danny its your 6
strtr parses the string only once for all key/value pairs when str_replace parses the string for each key/value pair.Use str_replace() to replace those. Pass the keys for search and values for replace -
$text = "Hello :name its your :num_visit";
$attr = [ ":name" => "Danny", ":num_visit" => 6];
echo str_replace(array_keys($attr), $attr, $text);
OUTPUT
Hello Danny its your 6
You can use str_replace().
$text = "Hello :name its your :num_visit";
str_replace( array(':name',':num_visit'), array('Danny','6'), $text );
:name will replace with Danny and :num_visit will replace with 6.
