Question

I have a variable called $day_price that can hold one of two values – either “weekday_price” or “weekend_price“. If I’m echoing $day_price however I would like the value of weekday_price to be echoed as Weekday Price and the value of weekend_price to be echoed as Weekend Price.

How can I achieve this without writing a long if-else statement like this?

if ($day_price=="weekday_price") { 
    echo "Weekday Price";
}
else if ($day_price=="weekend_price") { 
    echo "Weekend Price";
}

Answer 1

You can do this without conditions:

$res = ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', $day_price));
