PHP: How can I str_replace a query of variable content?

Question

Goal

I'm looking for a way to str_replace variable content. So that I can change this:

...and in week 1 we saw that...

into this:

...and in <a href="/?w=1">week 1</a> we saw that...

Thoughts

I know how str_replace works and I could solve it by just running a hundred different queries, each with another week. But what I want is a query that looks for this:

'week ' + X

So a query that finds every string 'week ' that is followed by a number. Can anyone help me solve this? :)

Tx!

Look at preg_replace() and then you can search for your: week \d+ and replace it with what you want. (If you get stuck you can always post the code here and I will help you further :) — Rizier123

Instead of str_replace you can use preg_replace like as

preg_replace('/(week\s?(\d+))/',"<a href='/?w=$2'>$1</a>",$your_string);
