I wanted to replace, in a string, all character occurrences & by a e (or remove it). The character may be in the middle of a word or appear several times in the same string.
Example:
Original value: João went to the Hotel & Spa for holidays.
After replacement: João went to the Hotel and Spa to spend holidays.

You can use the str_replace(), the parameters of this function are:
str_replace(search, substitute, source, $occurrences)
seek out - the text to search for
substitute - the text that should replace what is found in seek out
origin - the string where the contents are to be replaced
$occurrences (optional) - this variable will receive the value of how many times replace was executed and the text found/replaced.
An example would be:
$string = "O João foi ao Hotel & Spa passar férias";
$stringCorrigida = str_replace('&', 'e', $string);
echo $stringCorrigida; // resultado: O João foi ao Hotel e Spa passar férias
That’s right. Thank you @Sergio
@pc_oc great. I’m glad I helped.
How strange that this solution does not apply to this question: http://answall.com/questions/54541/comor-posso-converter-estas-strings-no-php ... will it be because str_replace is having problems with the characters?
Sergio, and in case the occurrence is any value inside an array? How to do this?
@Dichrist can give an example?
Yes. For example, if in a text I have several occurrences of the <br /> tag, and I want to make sure that if in that text you have 3 or more <br /> tags in a row are replaced by a single one, I wouldn’t have to use the array to save those occurrences and use that array in replace?
@Dichrist think it would be better to ask a separate question, in which case I think the best would be CSS.

And either the result corrected in a variable or you want to replace in the database?
