ibab Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I've been trying to go around with str_replace to replace numbers with words. I have a database which has table actions. The actions are saved in numbers from 0 to 20. I'd need to get something to replace the numbers with words to explain what actions these are. I've tried using this. $action1 = str_replace("5", "Command", "action1"); But that doesn't work. Not even 100% sure if that is even correct, because I am new to the str_replace thing anyway. Could someone help me with this, please? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231081-replacing-multiple-numbers-with-words/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 The 3rd parameter would need to be your $action1 variable and the first two parameters would need to be arrays with matching entries for all 21 pairs of values/words.
