I’m sorry, I’m a beginner in php. I was given a task at work to make a script in PHP. It is necessary to replace all links with numbers in the URL with letters.
For example, replace 3nsp.com with threensp.com, replace 10dna.com with tendna.com, and so on.
How to do it? Can I write a regular expression? Is there a function in php that will replace numbers with the corresponding words?
There is also a library that I have used which turns numeric values into words.
I don’t recall the name from the top of my head, but you may find it with a search.
The NumberFormatter class is designed for formatting numbers according to locale-specific rules (e.g., commas for thousands separators, currency symbols). It doesn’t convert numbers to words.
EDIT: My mistake, it does:
<?php
$f = new NumberFormatter("en", NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT);
echo $f->format(123456);
// output: one hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred fifty-six
// To get a valid url string you also have to replace the spaces:
$urlString = str_replace(' ', '_', $f->format(123456));
<?php
$numbers = range(0, 19);
$number_words = array_map('strval', $numbers); // Convert numbers to strings
$text = "I have 3 apples and 7 oranges.";
$replaced_text = strtr($text, array_combine($numbers, $number_words));
echo $replaced_text; // Output: I have three apples and seven oranges.
This will work for range 0 to 19 (single-word numbers)
If you have some higher numbers you’ll have to use another approach. preg_replace_callback() should help in this case.
You can accomplish this task in PHP by writing a function that uses a regular expression to find numbers in a URL and then replace them with their corresponding words.
