I'm looping through a title from a table so it's essentially something along these lines.
foreach($c as $row){
echo string_shorten($row['title']);
}
What I'm doing is trying is a switch statement that would switch between what I want it to search for and once it's found replace it with what I choose in the str_replace:
function string_shorten($text){
switch(strpos($text, $pos) !== false){
case "Hi":
return str_replace('Hi','Hello', $text);
break;
}
}
Any suggestions or possible alternatives would be appreciated. It feels like I'm really close but not quite.
As you can read in the manual for str_replace()
mixed
str_replace
( mixed$search
, mixed$replace
, mixed$subject
[, int&$count
] )
as well as this example
// Provides: You should eat pizza, beer, and ice cream every day $phrase = "You should eat fruits, vegetables, and fiber every day."; $healthy = array("fruits", "vegetables", "fiber"); $yummy = array("pizza", "beer", "ice cream"); $newphrase = str_replace($healthy, $yummy, $phrase);
This means that you could use something like the following
$search = array('Hi', 'Heyo', 'etc.');
$replace = array('Hello', 'Hello', '');
$str = str_replace($search, $replace, $str);
