PHP how to replace a certain thing in string?

Question

I'm trying to create a tooltip related to world of warcraft.

Some descriptions have

|TInterface\ICONS\inv_offhand_1h_ulduarraid_d_01:24:24:1.75:1.75|t Rest of description

how can I change this string into

<img src='images/interface/icons/inv_offhand_1h_ulduarraid_d_01.png' width='24' height='24'> Rest of description

Many thanks

What have you tried? Where is your code? Why have your attempts to do this yourself failed? — Jeffrey

If you're still learning, the best way to learn is by attempt. Read the documentation and see what you can figure out on your own. Then, if you're still stuck, come to StackOverflow. — Jeffrey

If your 100% sure the string will be in the same format you can do it like the following.

<?php
$string = '|TInterface\ICONS\inv_offhand_1h_ulduarraid_d_01:24:24:1.75:1.75|t Rest of description';

$part = explode('|', $string);
list($url, $width, $height) = explode(':', $part[1]);

$description = substr($part[2], 2);
$url = substr(strtolower(str_replace('\\', '/', $url)), 1);

echo '<img src="images/'.$url.'.png" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'"> '.$description;

Result:

<img src="images/interface/icons/inv_offhand_1h_ulduarraid_d_01.png" width="24" height="24"> Rest of description

No probs, it should work fine, but may need tweaking abit if case changes e.g: inv_offhand_1h_ulduarraid_d_01 becomes inv_Offhand_1H_ulduarraid_d_01 etc
