Re: Regular Expressions

[Mark Summers <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a first attempt but the general idea is that the regular
expression matching is done in one operation and then str_replace() is
called only as many times as required instead of once for every line in
your list.  Also, str_replace() is faster than ereg_replace().

<?php

$replace = array(
        "&ntilde" => "n",
        "&aacute" => "a",
        "&eacute" => "e",
        "&iacute" => "i",
        "&oacute" => "o",
        "&uacute" => "u"
);

$link = "ssrsrsrs&oacuteererrere&iacutesdd&oacutesdss&uacute";

if (preg_match_all("/(".join("|", array_keys($replace)).")/", $link,
$matches)) {
        $matches = array_unique($matches);

        foreach ($matches[0] as $match) {
                $link = str_replace($match, $replace[$match], $link);
        }
}

echo $link;

?>
