Multiple Replacements in String

[PTS]

I'm trying to figure how to make multiple replacements in a string before echoing the string out.

 

str_replace('Chris Drury', '<a href="/profile.php?playerid=23">Chris Drury</a>', $fullstory);

 

The above code does what I need it to do but just for one player. I want to find a way to make it happen for about 30 players.

 

Is there a way to do this in PHP?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice or direction.

Well, I would advise using a regular expression to match a name, or, if you have the list before hand, simply make an array:

$array = ("/Player1/","/Player2/","/PlayerN/");

and then

$text = preg_replace ($array, "<a href=\"\">$1</a>", $text);

<?php

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users_tbl WHERE condition");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){

   str_replace('$row['name']', '<a href="/profile.php?playerid={$row['ID']}">{$row['name']}</a>', $fullstory);

}

?>

Thank you sir! I figured it out but your way is 10x easier than what I came up with!

 

It worked like a charm.
