I need to exchange names started with HE for E as for example
HELIANE HELIAS
for
ELIANE ELIAS
but it may be
WILLIAM HENRY
and switch to
GUILHERME ENRIQUE

If it’s just to replace the HE
at the beginning of names/words use the \b
, so no middle characters are replaced in the string.
<?php
//exemplo 1
$str = 'HELIANE HELIAS';
$str = preg_replace('/\bHE/','E', $str);
echo $str. PHP_EOL; //ELAINE ELIAS
//exemplo 2
$str = 'GHELIANE GHELIAS';
$str = preg_replace('/\bHE/','E', $str);
echo $str; //GHELIANE GHELIAS

You can do it using the preg_replace
, created an example function:
function removeHe($nome) {
$pattern = '/[^a-zA-Z ]{1}H(e)/i';
$replace = '$1';
return ucwords(preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $nome));
}
Or if you prefer, a reduced version of the function:
function removeHe($nome) {
return ucwords(preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z ]{1}H(e)/i', '$1', $nome));
}
Use:
echo removeHe('Guilherme Henrique');
echo '<br/>';
echo removeHe('HELIANE HELIAS') ;
echo '<br/>';
echo removeHe('Heliane Helias') ; // iniciando com he
echo '<br/>';
echo removeHe('Marcos Porche') ; // terminado com he
Return:
Guilherme Henrique
HELIANE HELIAS
Heliane Helias
Marcos Porche
I hope I’ve helped!
this did not work, in fact all the names are uppercase for example GUILHERME HENRIQUE even changing the $Pattern = '/H(e)/'; for $Pattern = '/H(E)/'; still replaces being GUILERME ENRIQUE
only add the "i" at the end of the Pattern, I’ve updated the answer.
keeps going wrong until the return of the site went wrong gets guillermo
On my server works correctly. What is your configuration: Webserver, PHP version, etc.?
What error is appearing?
Ubuntu server lts standard, keeps changing the names with him
Solved, please let me know if it worked.
Remember to test names finished with HE, example: Marcos Porche

It worked, it was worth too much, to learn even regular expression, it helped a lot
