I wanted to replace, in a string, all occurrences of the & character with a e (or remove it). The character may be in the middle of a word or appear multiple times in the same string.
Example:
Original value: John went to the Hotel & Spa to spend a holiday.
After replacing: John went to the Hotel and Spa to spend a vacation.
You can use str_replace () , the parameters of this function are:
str_replace (search, substitute, source, $ occurrences)
search - text to search for substitute - text that should replace what is found in search
< strong> source - the string where the content to be replaced is $ occurrences (optional) - this variable will receive the value of how many times replace was executed and the text found / replaced.
An example would be:
$string = "O João foi ao Hotel & Spa passar férias";
$stringCorrigida = str_replace('&', 'e', $string);
echo $stringCorrigida; // resultado: O João foi ao Hotel e Spa passar férias
