Use str_replace instead of ereg_replace. You don't need regular expressions
there.
Your code is good as it is, one line per string replacemente. Don't mess up
code readability just for the sake of some lousy optimization, it's not
worthy.

Usa str_replace en lugar de ereg_replace. No necesitas expresiones regulares
en este caso.
Tu código está bien así, una línea por reemplazo. No arruines la legibilidad
del código solo por una optimización inútil, no vale la pena.
