preg_replace with an array

[mapleleaf]

Can I replace any items in my array with something else?

like:

$array = "apple, peach";

echo preg_replace("/($array)/i", "lemon");

Something like..

 

function replace($item){
     return preg_replace("/($item)/i","lemon");
}

$arr = array("apple","peach");
$new_arr = array_map("replace",$arr);

 

I also believe this could work:

 

$replace = preg_replace("/($value)/i","lemon");
$arr = array("apple","peach");
$new_arr = array_map($replace,$arr);

I think I was not clear.

I want to replace any words from a body of text that are in an array such as array("peach","apple") with lemon.

 

So $text = "hahdahdakhda asdhasdasd apple jdahibbasd peach dlad ect";

 

thanks

Just use str_replace

<?php
$text = "hahdahdakhda asdhasdasd apple jdahibbasd peach dlad ect";
$newtext = str_replace(array('apple','peach'),'lemon',$text);
echo $newtext . "<br>\n";
?>
