I have a text like this,
$string = "I have some fruits like [name], [another_name] and [one_another_name]";
And an array like this,
$fruits_array = array("Banana", "Apple", "Orange");
Now, how can I replace the texts between braces by following array?
I want a result like this,
I have some fruits like Banana, Apple and Orange.
Please provide the actual solution.
Thanks in advance.
Try this
$string = "I have some fruits like [name], [another_name] and [one_another_name]";
$fruits_array = array("Banana", "Apple", "Orange");
foreach($fruits_array as $replace)
{
$string = preg_replace('/\[.*?\]/i', $replace, $string, 1);
}
echo $string;
. at the end, output is getting weird.
<?php
$string = "I have some fruits like [name], [name] and [name]";
$fruits_array = array("Banana", "Apple", "Orange");
foreach ($fruits_array as $key => $value) {
$string = preg_replace('[name]', $value, $string, 1);
}
$string = str_replace('[', '', $string);
$string = str_replace(']', '', $string);
echo $string;
You might also use preg_replace_callback with a regex \[[^]]+\] to match an opening [, then match not a ] using a negated character class and then match ].
In the callback use array_shift to shift an element off the beginning of the array and use that as the replacement.
$string = "I have some fruits like [name], [another_name] and [one_another_name]";
$fruits_array = array("Banana", "Apple", "Orange");
$string = preg_replace_callback(
'/\[[^]]+\]/',
function ($matches) use (&$fruits_array) {
return array_shift($fruits_array);
},
$string
);
echo $string;
preg_replace_callback because the previous will not work when there already is %s present in the string.Implode the array by comma with space. Try like this :
$fruits_array = array("Banana", "Apple", "Orange");
echo 'I have some fruits like '.implode(', ',$fruits_array).'.';
Try this...
$string = "I have some fruits like [name], [name] and [name]";
$arr = explode('[name]',$string);
$fruits_array = array("Banana", "Apple", "Orange");
$newText = '';
for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++){
$newText .= $arr[$i] . $fruits_array[$i];
}
echo $newText;
