Re: [PHP] Regular Expressions

[Ezequiel Gutesman]

Maybe this helps

<?php


 $line = preg_replace_callback(
        '/(&aacute;|&eacute;|&iacute;|&oacute;|&uacute;|&ntilde;)/',
        create_function(
            // single quotes are essential here,
            // or alternative escape all $ as \$
            '$matches',
            'switch($matches[0]){
                    case \'&aacute;\': return \'a\';
                    case \'&eacute;\': return \'e\';
                    case \'&iacute;\': return \'i\';
                    case \'&oacute;\': return \'o\';
                    case \'&uacute;\': return \'u\';
                    case \'&ntilde;\': return \'n\';
                }'
        ),
        $line
    );

echo $line;
?>

if you want to use this functionality several times:

<?php

function myReplace($chr)
{
        switch($chr[0]){
                    case '&aacute;': return 'a';
                    case '&eacute;': return 'e';
                    case '&iacute;': return 'i';
                    case '&oacute;': return 'o';
                    case '&uacute;': return 'u';
                    case '&ntilde;': return 'n';
        }
}


$line = "Hola que tal con &aacute; con acento y e&ntilde;e ";

 $line = preg_replace_callback(
        '/(&aacute;|&eacute;|&iacute;|&oacute;|&uacute;|&ntilde;)/',
        'myReplace',
        $line
    );
echo $line;
?>

hope this helps. Note that these are pcre (Perl Compatible RegEx).
