I have an expression like:
$x="We have a cat here.";
I want to replace "a" with, for example 5, so this should look like:
We have 5 cat here. //It doesn't make sense, but it's just an example.
I tried simple
echo str_replace("a","5",$x);
but that returned
We h5ve 5 c5t here.
Then, I tried
echo str_replace(" a "," 5 ",$x);
but that didn't do the job for strings like
We have a cat here. (A dog actually).
I decided to use regex, but Im completely newbie to this, and I don't know how to use any of them... Well, I'd really appreciate any link to a good tutorial, but I need the answer quite fast...
使用\\b
标记单词边界,例如
$newstring = preg_replace('/\b[Aa]\b/', '5', $string);
