The strtr Function

The strtr function performs search and replacement of characters in a string. It has two modes of operation.

In the first mode, the function accepts an array of replacements: the keys are what we are replacing, and the values are what we will replace with:

strtr(where we replace, replacement array);

In the second mode, the function accepts one parameter as a string with characters that will be replaced, and the second parameter - a string with characters that will be used for replacement. The corresponding characters of the first string will be replaced by the corresponding characters of the second string:

strtr(where we replace, what we replace, what we replace with);

Example

In this example, the function will replace characters 1 and 2 with 'a' and 'b' respectively:

<?php
	echo strtr('111222', ['1'=>'a', '2'=>'b']);
?>

Code execution result:

'aaabbb'

Example

In this example, the function will also replace characters 1 and 2 with 'a' and 'b' respectively:

<?php
	echo strtr('111222', '12', 'ab');
?>

Code execution result:

'aaabbb'
