Question

My code-

$input = "this text is for highlighting a text if it exists in a string. Let us check if it works or not";

$pattern ="/if/";
$replacement= "H1Fontbracket"."if"."H1BracketClose";

echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $input);

Now the problem is that when i run this code, it splits into multiple lines, what else do i need to do so that i am able to get it in one line

Answer 1

Use str_replace rather than preg_replace. preg_replace will return an array of strings, and str_replace will just return the string:

echo str_replace($pattern, $replacement, $input);
