I am trying to string replace the following in php
{{str_replace('D:\xamp\htdocs\james\', '/', 'D:\xamp\htdocs\james\assets/images/users/58f5f0afc28cb-bigbang2.jpg')}}
I get the following error:
ErrorException: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'D' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')'
How can I achieve this?
Instead of preg_replace
use str_replace
for exact matching and replacement. Problem in your code is you haven't escaped \
use first parameter as 'D:\xamp\htdocs\james\\'
echo str_replace('D:\xamp\htdocs\james\\', '/', 'D:\xamp\htdocs\james\assets/images/users/58f5f0afc28cb-bigbang2.jpg');
Output:
/assets/images/users/58f5f0afc28cb-bigbang2.jpg
The '
is getting escaped here: 'D:\xamp\htdocs\james\'
. That is the reason you are getting the error. You need to escape the \
to resolve the error.
{{preg_replace('D:\xamp\htdocs\james\\', '/','D:\xamp\htdocs\james\assets/images/users/58f5f0afc28cb-bigbang2.jpg')}}
