String Search

[TH.Sharplet]

Can a string be searched for specific characters? - Each time a 6 is found, can "Six" be displayed on the screen, and each time a 5 is found, can "Five" be displayed on the screen.

str_replace() (http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php)

Using the following code, what needs to be changed, in order to do the following:

Display "Six" on the screen each time a 6 is found within the string, and display "Five" on the screen if 5 is found within the string.

<?php
$string = "12166784";
$stringreplaced = str_replace($find, $replace, $string);
echo 'Origional String'.$string.'<br>';
echo $stringreplaced;
?>

I would use two arrays, one to list the numbers you want to change, and one to list the text you want each number to change to.


$numbers = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0);
$numberText = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight', 'nine', 'zero');
$myString = str_replace($numbers, $numberText, $myString);

That doesn't search a string for I's or E's?

[Fumigator]

You've mentioned nothing about I's or E's to this point.

[TH.Sharplet]

Oops!Sorry, I mean: "How do I search the following string for characters 'e' and 'i'?"

If an 'e' is found, can "Found E" being displayed on the screen.
If an 'i' is found, can "Found I" being displayed on the screen.

$string = "nineonethreefoursixseveneight";

You probably want to use strpos() (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php) for that.

Is this your homework?

You probably want to use strpos() for that.How?
Is this your homework?
No, this is not homework. I just need to search a string for occurrences of two characters, these being "E's" and "I's".
