I have a question that can I replace a certain character like # with # in a string.
I have all the character checkers and their replacer in an array. Like this--
$string_check = array(
"#" => "#",
.... and so on (list is too big)
);
So how can I do this thing. Please help me out. I only have 20 days of experience with php.
You can feed your translation table right into strtr():
$table = array(
'#' => '...',
);
$result = strtr($source, $table);
str_replace does exactly that and it also accepts arrays as replacement maps:
$string_check = array(
"#" => "#"
);
$result = str_replace (array_keys($string_check), array_values($string_check), $original);
$search = array('hello','foo');
$replace = array('world','bar');
$text = 'hello foo';
$result = str_replace($search,$replace,$text);
// $result will be 'world bar'
but in your case it looks like some kind of encoding, have you tried the htmlspecialchars?
