strtr -- Translate certain characters
Description
string strtr (string str, string from, string to)
This function returns a copy of str, translating all occurrences of each
character in from to the corresponding character in to and
returning the result.
If from and to are different lengths, the extra characters
in the longer of the two are ignored.

Example 1. strtr() example
$addr = strtr($addr, "äåö", "aao");

strtr() can be called with only two arguments. If called with two arguments it
behaves in a new way: from then has to be an array that contains string ->
string pairs that will be replaced in the source string. strtr() will always look for the
longest possible match first and will *NOT* try to replace stuff that it has already worked on.
Examples:
$trans = array("hello" => "hi", "hi" => "hello");
echo strtr("hi all, I said hello", $trans) . "\n";
|
This will show: "hello all, I said hi",
Note: This optional to and from parameters were added in
PHP 4.0.0
