Can MySQL replace multiple characters?

Question

I\'m trying to replace a bunch of characters in a MySQL field. I know the REPLACE function but that only replaces one string at a time. I can\'t see any appropriate function

Answer 1

on php

$dataToReplace = [1 => 'one', 2 => 'two', 3 => 'three'];
$sqlReplace = '';
foreach ($dataToReplace as $key => $val) {
    $sqlReplace = 'REPLACE(' . ($sqlReplace ? $sqlReplace : 'replace_field') . ', "' . $key . '", "' . $val . '")';
}
echo $sqlReplace;

result

REPLACE(
    REPLACE(
        REPLACE(replace_field, "1", "one"),
    "2", "two"),
"3", "three");
