Actually I want to convert the string that I enter in input text, and then compare to another array.. See scenario below:
First, I enter this type of string in input text: acgta
Second, I want to replace the "acgta" to the "TGCAT" which is a=T, c=G, g=C
This is code:
$data = "acgta";
$s = str_split($data);
$d = array("a" => "T","g" => "C","c" => "G","t" => "A");
foreach($d as $key1 => $value1) {
echo str_replace($key1,$value1,$data);}
$data = "acgta";
echo str_replace(array('a', 'c', 'g', 't'), array('T', 'G', 'C', 'A'), $data);
or
$data = "acgta";
echo strtr($data, 'acgt', 'TGCA');
Take a look at the PHP manual pages for:
strtr is by far the best way for this sort of thing.You want to use the strtr function. This is pretty self-explanatory if you read the PHP doc: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtr.php
$data = "acgta";
$d = array("a" => "T","g" => "C","c" => "G","t" => "A");
echo strtr($data, $d);
It would be easier to use str_replace with array elements. See below:
$data = "acgta";
$fromArr = array('a', 'g', 'c', 't');
$toArr = array('T', 'C', 'G', 'A');
echo str_replace($fromArr, $toArr, $data);
$string = "acgta";
$from = array('a', 'g', 'c', 't');
$to = array('T', 'C', 'G', 'A');
$string = str_replace($from, $to, $string);
$string = "acgta";
$string = str_replace(array('a', 'g', 'c', 't'), array('T', 'C', 'G', 'A'), $string);
+1 Lolz, no other way... Is there any?
preg_replace for this simple stuff.
