how to replace a matching string?

[$php_mysql$]

when i call my category they from a page i do this

$catname = clean($_REQUEST['category']);

 

now my categories names are fixed such as career_jobs, buy_sell so i wish to change my page title to say if category buy_sell comes in the $_REQUEST i want to replay it with Buy & Sell on the page title if Career_Jobs comes then i wish to change the title to Career & Jobs, how could i do this?

[$php_mysql$]

nevermind str_replace did the job :-) but how could i add a if statement or by using array mebbe and add multiple replacements? any help? i need to modify just 3 category names in the $title rest should remain as it is

Two ways depending on the variety of your strings:

 

$title = str_replace('_', ' & ', ucwords($catname));

 

Or something with a lookup array:

 

$lookup = array('career_jobs' = > 'Career & Jobs', 'buy_sell' => 'Buy & Sell');

if(isset($lookup[strtolower($catname)])) {
   $title = $lookup[strtolower($catname)];
} else {
   $title = 'not found';
}

[$php_mysql$]

walla bro thanks soo much :-)

 

this solved my issue :-)

 

$title = str_replace('_', ' & ', ucwords($catname));
