str_replace, gives me the wrong result Only when numerals are in it [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

str_replace with array

4 answers

//post data
$post = $_POST['username'];

//str replace
$print = str_replace([1,2,3,4,5], ['4A','6B','7C','2D','6F'], $post);

//prints result
echo ""username":"" . $print . """;

str replace works fine when it's just alpha (example: TEST!@#test = 7160767124452671607671 which is just perfect, but as soon as digits come into play things get messy $print should output "username":"4A6B7C2D6F" if input 12345 the current output is "username":"2DA6B7C2D6F"

1 becomes 4A then the 4 is replaced with 2D so you get the 2DA.

So what exactly does "I have alpha in my actual code, as well as symbols" mean? Are you or are you not only trying to replace digits 1 through 5 with 4A, 6B, 7C, 2D, 6F?

str_replace starts every replacement scan from the beginning and will replace parts of your prior replacements. Instead use strtr which won't.

The longest keys will be tried first. Once a substring has been replaced, its new value will not be searched again.

E.g.:

echo strtr("12345", [
 1 => '4A',
 2 => '6B',
 3 => '7C',
 4 => '2D',
 5 => '6F'
]);

will give you:

Welcome to StackOverflow!

I found some information regarding your issue in the official PHP.net documentation.

Caution

Replacement order gotcha

Because str_replace() replaces left to right, it might replace a
previously inserted value when doing multiple replacements. See also
the examples in this document.

In your case it's first replacing the 1 with 4A and then replacing the 4 in 4A with 2D resulting in 2DA and after that it seems to be replacing everything correctly.

Happy coding!

EDIT: Using strtr as illustrated in Paul's answer will give you the result you desire.
