How do I change these codes using PHP code ...
I tried this but failed.
$str = str_replace(
array('A','/\'),
array('M','/\/\'),
array('N','/\/'),
array('V','\/'),
array('W','\/\/'),
$html);
What is the best practice for doing this?

You need to escape the backslashes. Also, you are not forming the parameters to str_replace correctly, they should be an array of strings and an array of replacements. This will do what you want:
$html = 'MAVEN WAR';
$str = str_replace(array('A', 'M', 'N', 'V', 'W'),
array('/\\','/\\/\\','/\\/','\\/','\\/\\/'),
$html);
echo $str;
Output:
/\/\/\\/E/\/ \/\//\R

The correct way of using the str_replace is
$string = "ABCD This";
$pattern = ['A','B','C','D'];
$replacments = ['1A','2B','3C','4D'];
echo str_replace($pattern, $replacments, $string);
A, M, N, V, W
