I want to replace inch characters" with proper German quotation marks???example???.
An example String would be:
$string = `Mein Name ist "Joseph"`
I tried
str_replace("\"", '???', $string)
but of course it's replacing all of the inch characters with the same quotation mark
Mein Name ist ???Joseph???
So I guess I need a regex to somehow replace the inch character before a word with??? and the inch character after the same word with??? to get the result
Mein Name ist ???Joseph???
Despite reading how regex works, I can't really figure out how to achieve that.
Any tips would be gladly welcomed, thx!
Try something like this,
$re = '/("([^"]*)")/';
$str = 'Mein Name ist "Joseph"';
$subst = '???$2???';
$result = preg_replace($re, $subst, $str);
echo $result;

Here you go. I used a regex to replace the first " and then replaced everything else with the second character.
$string = 'Mein Name ist "Joseph"';
$patterns = array();
$patterns[0] = '/ "/';
$patterns[1] = '/^"/';
$replacements = array();
$replacements[1] = ' ???';
$replacements[0] = '^???';
$str = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);
$str = str_replace("\"", '???', $str);
echo $str;
