I\'m having problem with t

Answer 1

I found a very easy solution to replace multiple words in a string :

Hello world!

"; $pattern=array(); $pattern[0]="/

/";
$pattern[1]="/<\/pre>/";


$replacement=array();
$replacement[0]="";
$replacement[1]="";

echo preg_replace($pattern,$replacement,$str);?> 

output :

 Hello world!

With this script you can replace as many words in a string as you want :

just place the word (that you want to replace) in the pattern array , eg :

     $pattern[0]="/replaceme/"; 

and place the characters (that will be used in place of the replaced characters) in the replacement array, eg :

      $replacement[0]="new_word"; 

Happy coding!
