I am trying to change words in string, I know laravel Str::replace() function but it converts if you write exact word. This is what i want to do :
$string = " this is @username and this is @username2"
I want to find usernames which starts with "@" and make them like below, i want to add <strong>
html tag them :
$newstring = " this is <strong>@username</strong>
and this is <strong>@username2</strong>
"
I couldnt find the way to change dynamic value on str replace.
Thanks
CodePudding user response:
Use preg_replace
$string = 'this is @username and this is @username2';
$newString = preg_replace('/(\@\w )/', '<strong>$1</strong>', $string);
