php - replace string occurrences

Question

I have a string \"First line | second line | third line\" How can I replace | with a new line character?

I\'m trying to use

Answer 1

Using strtr is a tad faster than str_replace or preg_replace.

echo strtr($string,'|', "\n");

Mind the double quotes around the \n.

Also, if you want to output HTML, a newline char is not sufficient, you need to replace it with
tags.

echo str_replace("|", "
\n", $string);
