[PHP] Re: case-insensitive str_replace
preg_replace() can be used with arrays. J Reuben D Budiardja wrote: Hi, I am in need of a case-insensitive str_replace. I've tried the search the archive and documentation, but the mostly suggested thing is to use eregi_replace. But this does not really solve the problem for me since the argument for eregi_replace can't be an array. The feature that I use in str_replace is to put the 'search' and 'replace' argument as an array, as described in the documentation for php = 4.0.5 Some people suggested some functions in the archive and documentation, but I cannot find anything that can receive arrays as the arguments. So I am wondering if anyone has a function that is fully compatible with str_replace for php 4.0.5, but case-insensitive (something like stri_replace). I don't really want to reinvent the wheel here.

Yeah, but how to make it case-insensitive beside changing the my search and replace strings to a regular expression? The problem is that I have a big array for search and replace, and it would be most labourious to change them to reg exp. There should be something simpler and more elegant to do this. Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Re: case-insensitive str_replace
Well to make it case insensitive, you could change them to '/search/i'. Adding that /i makes them case-insensitive.

Yes, just use the i (for case insensitive) modifier after the closing regex pattern delimiter: $patterns=array(/foo/i,/bar/i); -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The problem is that I have a big array for search and replace, and it would be most labourious to change them to reg exp. It shouldn't be laborious, if the array's values were--as you implied--compatible with str_replace. You're replacing an array of straight string values, correct? So just escape the regex special values (preg_quotes()) in each while you're looping through the array to add the pattern delimiters and i modifier. Then pass that array to preg_replace. -- CC -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
