strtr

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

strtrПреобразовывает символы или заменяет подстроки

Описание

strtr(string $string, string $from, string $to): string

Альтернативная сигнатура (не поддерживается с именованными аргументами):

strtr(string $string, array $replace_pairs): string

Если указали три аргумента, функция возвращает копию строки string, в которой все вхождения каждого символа (однобайтного) из значения from функция заменила на соответствующий символ в параметре to, то есть каждое вхождение из $from[$n] заменяется на $to[$n], где $n — корректное смещение строки в обоих аргументах.

Если длины строк from и to отличаются, «лишние» символы в более длинной строке не используются. Длина возвращаемого значения будет такой же, как и длина string.

Функцию strtr() разрешается вызывать с двумя аргументами. Тогда параметр from должен быть массивом (array), в формате array('from' => 'to', ...). Функция вернёт строку, в которой заменит каждый ключ массива значениями, которые соответствуют ключам. Функция strtr() в первую очередь заменяет более длинные ключи, причём одна и та же строка поиска используется только один раз.

Тогда ключи и значения могут иметь любую длину, за исключением того, что ключи не должны быть пустыми. Кроме того, длина возвращаемого значения может отличаться от string. Однако стоит учесть тот факт, что эта функция максимально эффективна тогда, когда все ключи имеют одинаковый размер.

Список параметров

string

Заменяемая строка (string).

from

Строка (string), которую функция заменит на строку to.

to

Строка (string), которая заменяет строку from.

replace_pairs

Параметр replace_pairs может быть использован вместо to и from, в этом случае он является массивом (array) и имеет форму array('from' => 'to', ...).

Если параметр replace_pairs содержит ключ в виде пустой строки (string) (""), элемент игнорируется; начиная с PHP 8.0.0 в таком случае выдаётся ошибка уровня E_WARNING.

Возвращаемые значения

Функция возвращает преобразованную строку (string).

Примеры

Пример #1 Пример использования функции strtr()

<?php

// В этой форме функция strtr() выполняет побайтовый перевод.
// Таким образом, здесь подразумевается однобайтная кодировка:
$addr = strtr($addr, "äåö", "aao");

?>

Следующий пример демонстрирует поведение функции strtr() при вызове только с двумя аргументами. Обратите внимание на приоритет замен ("h" не используется, так как существуют более длинные совпадения) и как заменённый текст больше не участвует в поиске.

Пример #2 Пример использования функции strtr() с двумя аргументами

<?php

$trans
= array("h" => "-", "hello" => "hi", "hi" => "hello");
echo
strtr("hi all, I said hello", $trans);

?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

hello all, I said hi

Эти два режима довольно сильно различаются. При вызове функции strtr() с тремя аргументами заменяются байты, а при вызове с двумя аргументами могут быть заменены и более длинные подстроки.

Пример #3 Сравнение поведения функции strtr()

<?php

echo strtr("baab", "ab", "01"),"\n";

$trans = array("ab" => "01");
echo
strtr("baab", $trans);

?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

1001
ba01

Here's an important real-world example use-case for strtr where str_replace will not work or will introduce obscure bugs:

<?php

$strTemplate
= "My name is :name, not :name2.";
$strParams = [
':name' => 'Dave',
'Dave' => ':name2 or :password', // a wrench in the otherwise sensible input
':name2' => 'Steve',
':pass' => '7hf2348', // sensitive data that maybe shouldn't be here
];

echo
strtr($strTemplate, $strParams);
// "My name is Dave, not Steve."

echo str_replace(array_keys($strParams), array_values($strParams), $strTemplate);
// "My name is Steve or 7hf2348word, not Steve or 7hf2348word2."

?>

Any time you're trying to template out a string and don't necessarily know what the replacement keys/values will be (or fully understand the implications of and control their content and order), str_replace will introduce the potential to incorrectly match your keys because it does not expand the longest keys first.

Further, str_replace will replace in previous replacements, introducing potential for unintended nested expansions. Doing so can put the wrong data into the "sub-template" or even give users a chance to provide input that exposes data (if they get to define some of the replacement strings).

Don't support recursive expansion unless you need it and know it will be safe. When you do support it, do so explicitly by repeating strtr calls until no more expansions are occurring or a sane iteration limit is reached, so that the results never implicitly depend on order of your replacement keys. Also make certain that any user input will expanded in an isolated step after any sensitive data is already expanded into the output and no longer available as input.

Note: using some character(s) around your keys to designate them also reduces the possibility of unintended mangling of output, whether maliciously triggered or otherwise. Thus the use of a colon prefix in these examples, which you can easily enforce when accepting replacement input to your templating/translation system.

Since strtr (like PHP's other string functions) treats strings as a sequence of bytes, and since UTF-8 and other multibyte encodings use - by definition - more than one byte for at least some characters, the three-string form is likely to have problems. Use the associative array form to specify the mapping.

<?php
// Assuming UTF-8
$str = 'Äbc Äbc'; // strtr() sees this as nine bytes (including two for each Ä)
echo strtr($str, 'Ä', 'a'); // The second argument is equivalent to the string "\xc3\x84" so "\xc3" gets replaced by "a" and the "\x84" is ignored

echo strtr($str, array('Ä' => 'a')); // Works much better

fixed "normaliza" functions written below to include Slavic Latin characters... also, it doesn't return lowercase any more (you can easily get that by applying strtolower yourself)...

also, renamed to normalize()

<?php

function normalize ($string) {
$table = array(
'Š'=>'S', 'š'=>'s', 'Đ'=>'Dj', 'đ'=>'dj', 'Ž'=>'Z', 'ž'=>'z', 'Č'=>'C', 'č'=>'c', 'Ć'=>'C', 'ć'=>'c',
'À'=>'A', 'Á'=>'A', 'Â'=>'A', 'Ã'=>'A', 'Ä'=>'A', 'Å'=>'A', 'Æ'=>'A', 'Ç'=>'C', 'È'=>'E', 'É'=>'E',
'Ê'=>'E', 'Ë'=>'E', 'Ì'=>'I', 'Í'=>'I', 'Î'=>'I', 'Ï'=>'I', 'Ñ'=>'N', 'Ò'=>'O', 'Ó'=>'O', 'Ô'=>'O',
'Õ'=>'O', 'Ö'=>'O', 'Ø'=>'O', 'Ù'=>'U', 'Ú'=>'U', 'Û'=>'U', 'Ü'=>'U', 'Ý'=>'Y', 'Þ'=>'B', 'ß'=>'Ss',

Since I was having a lot of trouble finding a multibyte safe strtr and the solutions I found didn't help, I came out with this function, I don't know how it works with non latin chars but it works for me using spanish/french utf8, I hope it helps someone...
<?php
if(!function_exists('mb_strtr')) {
function
mb_strtr ($str, $from, $to = null) {
if(
is_array($from)) {
$from = array_map('utf8_decode', $from);
$from = array_map('utf8_decode', array_flip ($from));
return
utf8_encode (strtr (utf8_decode ($str), array_flip ($from)));
}
return
utf8_encode (strtr (utf8_decode ($str), utf8_decode($from), utf8_decode ($to)));
}
}

I found that this approach is often faster than strtr() and won't change the same thing in your string twice (as opposed to str_replace(), which will overwrite things in the order of the array you feed it with):

<?php
function replace ($text, $replace) {
$keys = array_keys($replace);
$length = array_combine($keys, array_map('strlen', $keys));
arsort($length);

$array[] = $text;
$count = 1;
reset($length);
while (
$key = key($length)) {
if (
strpos($text, $key) !== false) {
for (
$i = 0; $i < $count; $i += 2) {
if ((
$pos = strpos($array[$i], $key)) === false) continue;
array_splice($array, $i, 1, array(substr($array[$i], 0, $pos), $replace[$key], substr($array[$i], $pos + strlen($key))));
$count += 2;
}
}
next($length);
}
return
implode($array);
}
?>

OK, I debugged the function (had some errors)
Here it is:

$two = strval( $two );
$one = substr( $one, 0, min( strlen($one), strlen($two) ) );
$two = substr( $two, 0, min( strlen($one), strlen($two) ) );
$product = strtr( $string, ( strtoupper($one) . strtolower($one) ), ( $two . $two ) );
return $product;
}
else if( is_array( $one ) ){
$pos1 = 0;
$product = $string;
while( count( $one ) > 0 ){
$positions = array();
foreach( $one as $from => $to ){
if( ( $pos2 = stripos( $product, $from, $pos1 ) ) === FALSE ){
unset( $one[ $from ] );
}
else{
$positions[ $from ] = $pos2;
}
}
if( count( $one ) <= 0 )break;
$winner = min( $positions );
$key = array_search( $winner, $positions );
$product = ( substr( $product, 0, $winner ) . $one[$key] . substr( $product, ( $winner + strlen($key) ) ) );
$pos1 = ( $winner + strlen( $one[$key] ) );
}
return $product;

If you supply 3 arguments and the 2nd is an array, strtr will search the "A" from "Array" (because you're treating it as a scalar string) and replace it with the 3rd argument:

strtr('Analogy', array('x'=>'y'), '_'); //'_nalogy'

so in reality the above code has the same affect as:

strtr('Analogy', 'A' , '_');

strstr will issue a notice when $replace_pairs contains an array, even unused, with php 5.5.0.

It was not the case with version at least up to 5.3.2, but I'm not sure the notice was added with exactly 5.5.0.

<?php
$str
= 'hi all, I said hello';
$replace_pairs = array(
'all' => 'everybody',
'unused' => array('somtehing', 'something else'),
'hello' => 'hey',
);
// php 5.5.0 Notice: Array to string conversion in test.php on line 8
echo strtr($str, $replace_pairs); // hi everybody, I said hey
?>

since the result is still correct, @strstr seems a working solution.

Since strtr() is twice faster than strlwr I decided to write my own lowering function which also handles UTF-8 characters.

<?php

function strlwr($string, $utf = 1)
{
$latin_letters = array('Ă' => 'a',
'Â' => 'a',
'Î' => 'i',
'Ș' => 's',
'Ş' => 's',
'Ț' => 't',
'Ţ' => 't');

$utf_letters = array('Ă' => 'ă',
'Â' => 'â',
'Î' => 'î',
'Ș' => 'ș',
'Ş' => 'ş',
'Ț' => 'ț',
'Ţ' => 'ţ');

$letters = array('A' => 'a',
'B' => 'b',
'C' => 'c',
'D' => 'd',
'E' => 'e',
'F' => 'f',
'G' => 'g',
'H' => 'h',
'I' => 'i',
'J' => 'j',
'K' => 'k',
'L' => 'l',
'M' => 'm',
'N' => 'n',
'O' => 'o',
'P' => 'p',
'Q' => 'q',
'R' => 'r',
'S' => 's',
'T' => 't',
'U' => 'u',
'V' => 'v',
'W' => 'w',
'X' => 'x',
'Y' => 'y',
'Z' => 'z');

return (
$utf == 1) ? strtr($string, array_merge($utf_letters, $letters)) : strtr($string, array_merge($latin_letters, $letters));
}

?>

This allows you to lower every character (even UTF-8 ones) if you don't set the second parameter, or just lower the UTF-8 ones into their specific latin characters (used when making friendly-urls for example).

I used romanian characters but, of course, you can add your own local characters.

Feel free to use/modify this function as you wish. Hope it helps.

Here's another transcribe function. This one converts cp1252 (aka. Windows-1252) into iso-8859-1 (aka. latin1, the default PHP charset). It only transcribes the few exotic characters, which are unique to cp1252.

function transcribe_cp1252_to_latin1($cp1252) {
return strtr(
$cp1252,
array(
"\x80" => "e", "\x81" => " ", "\x82" => "'", "\x83" => 'f',
"\x84" => '"', "\x85" => "...", "\x86" => "+", "\x87" => "#",
"\x88" => "^", "\x89" => "0/00", "\x8A" => "S", "\x8B" => "<",
"\x8C" => "OE", "\x8D" => " ", "\x8E" => "Z", "\x8F" => " ",
"\x90" => " ", "\x91" => "`", "\x92" => "'", "\x93" => '"',
"\x94" => '"', "\x95" => "*", "\x96" => "-", "\x97" => "--",
"\x98" => "~", "\x99" => "(TM)", "\x9A" => "s", "\x9B" => ">",
"\x9C" => "oe", "\x9D" => " ", "\x9E" => "z", "\x9F" => "Y"));

The example of VOVA (http://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.strtr.php#111968) is good but the result is false:
His example dont replace the string.

<?php
function f1_strtr() {
for(
$i=0; $i<1000000; ++$i) {
$new_string = strtr("aboutdealers.com", array(".com" => ""));
}

function
f2_str_replace() {
for(
$i=0; $i<1000000; ++$i) {
$new_string = str_replace( ".com", "", "aboutdealers.com");
}
return
$new_string;
}
$start = microtime(true);
$strtr = f1_strtr();
$stop = microtime(true);
$time_strtr = $stop - $start;

$start = microtime(true);
$str_replace = f2_str_replace();
$stop = microtime(true);
$time_str_replace = $stop - $start;


echo
'time strtr : ' . $time_strtr . "\tresult :" . $strtr . "\n";
echo
'time str_replace : ' . $time_str_replace . "\tresult :" . $str_replace . "\n";
echo
'time strtr > time str_replace => ' . ($time_strtr > $time_str_replace);

--------------------------------------
time strtr : 3.9719619750977 result :aboutdealers
time str_replace : 2.9930369853973 result :aboutdealers
time strtr > time str_replace => 1

Weird, but strtr corrupting chars, if used like below and if file is encoded in UTF-8;

<?php

echo
strtr($str, 'Ä', 'a');

And a simple solution;

<?php
function strtr_unicode($str, $a = null, $b = null) {
$translate = $a;
if (!
is_array($a) && !is_array($b)) {
$a = (array) $a;
$b = (array) $b;
$translate = array_combine(
array_values($a),
array_values($b)
);
}
// again weird, but accepts an array in this case
return strtr($str, $translate);
}

$str = 'Äbc Äbc';
echo
strtr($str, 'Ä', 'a') ."\n";
echo

echo

After battling with strtr trying to strip out MS word formatting from things pasted into forms I ended up coming up with this..

it strips ALL non-standard ascii characters, preserving html codes and such, but gets rid of all the characters that refuse to show in firefox.

If you look at this page in firefox you will see a ton of "question mark" characters and so it is not possible to copy and paste those to remove them from strings.. (this fixes that issue nicely, though I admit it could be done a bit better)

<?
function fixoutput($str){
$good[] = 9; #tab
$good[] = 10; #nl
$good[] = 13; #cr
for($a=32;$a<127;$a++){
$good[] = $a;
}
$len = strlen($str);
for($b=0;$b < $len+1; $b++){
if(in_array(ord($str[$b]), $good)){
$newstr .= $str[$b];
}//fi
}//rof
return $newstr;

To convert special chars to their html entities strtr you can use strtr in conjunction with get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) :

$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$html_code = strtr($html_code, $trans);

This will replace in $html_code the ? by &Aacute; , etc.

If you are going to call strtr a lot, consider using str_replace instead, as it is much faster. I cut execution time in half just by doing this.

<?
// i.e. instead of:

This function is usefull for
accent insensitive regexp
searches into greek (iso8859-7) text:
(Select View -> Character Encoding -> Greek (iso8859-7)
at your browser to see the correct greek characters)

function gr_regexp($mystring){
$replacement=array(
array("?","?","?","?"),
array("?","?","?","?"),
array("?","?","?","?"),
array("?","?","?","?","?","?"),
array("?","?","?","?"),
array("?","?","?","?","?","?"),
array("?","?","?","?")
);
foreach($replacement as $group){
foreach($group as $character){
$exp="[";
foreach($group as $expcharacter){
$exp.=$expcharacter;
}
$exp.="]";
$trans[$character]=$exp;
}
}
$temp=explode(" ", $mystring);
for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($temp);$i++){
$temp[$i]=strtr($temp[$i],$trans);
$temp[$i]=addslashes($temp[$i]);
}
return implode(".*",$temp);
}

$match=gr_regexp("????????????????????? ??? ????????");

//The next query string can be sent to MySQL
through mysql_query()
$query=
"Select `column` from `table` where `column2` REGEXP
'".$match."'";

Here's a very useful function to translate Microsoft characters into Latin 15, so that people won't see any more square instead of characters in web pages .

function demicrosoftize($str) {
return strtr($str,
"\x82\x83\x84\x85\x86\x87\x89\x8a" .
"\x8b\x8c\x8e\x91\x92\x93\x94\x95" .
"\x96\x97\x98\x99\x9a\x9b\x9c\x9e\x9f",
"'f\".**^\xa6<\xbc\xb4''" .
"\"\"---~ \xa8>\xbd\xb8\xbe");
}

As Daijoubu suggested use str_replace instead of this function for large arrays/subjects. I just tried it with a array of 60 elements, a string with 8KB length, and the execution time of str_replace was faster at factor 20!

Posting umlaute here resulted in a mess. Heres a version of the same function that works with preg_replace only:
<?php
function getRewriteString($sString) {
$string = strtolower(htmlentities($sString));
$string = preg_replace("/&(.)(uml);/", "$1e", $string);
$string = preg_replace("/&(.)(acute|cedil|circ|ring|tilde|uml);/", "$1", $string);
$string = preg_replace("/([^a-z0-9]+)/", "-", html_entity_decode($string));
$string = trim($string, "-");
return
$string;
}
?>

As noted in the str_rot13 docs, some servers don't provide the str_rot13() function. However, the presence of strtr makes it easy to build your own facsimile thereof:

if (!function_exists('str_rot13')) {
function str_rot13($str) {
$from = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
$to = 'nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLM';

return strtr($str, $from, $to);
}
}

This is suitable for very light "encryption" such as hiding email addressess from spambots (then unscrambling them in a mail class, for example).

$mail_to=str_rot13("$mail_to");

As an alternative to the not-yet-existing function stritr mentioned in the first note above You can easily do this:

strtr("abc","ABCabc","xyzxyz")

or more general:

strtr("abc",
strtoupper($fromchars).strtolower($fromchars),
$tochars.$tochars);

Just a thought.

The string, string form cannot remove characters, but the array form can.

Here's a function to replace linebreaks to html <p> tags. This was initially designed to receive a typed text by a form in a "insert new notice" page and put in a database, then a "notice" page could get the text preformatted with paragraph tags instead of linebreaks that won't appear on browser. The function also removes repeated linebreaks the user may have typed in the form.

function break_to_tags(&$text) {

// find and remove repeated linebreaks

$double_break = array("\r\n\r\n" => "\r\n");
do {
$text = strtr($text, $double_break);
$position = strpos($text, "\r\n\r\n");
} while ($position !== false);

// find and replace remanescent linebreaks by <p> tags

$change = array("\r\n" => "<p>");
$text = strtr($text, $change);
}
