In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to replace a specific string with another in Laravel, utilizing a controller method and implementing the change directly in a Blade template.
Part 1: String Replacement in Laravel Controllers
Step1: Create a New Controller
- Open your Laravel project’s terminal.
- Use the
php artisan make:controller
command to create a new controller. For example, create a “StringReplaceController”:
php artisan make:controller StringReplaceController
Step2: Implement String Replacement
- Open the newly created
StringReplaceController.php
file in theapp/Http/Controllers
directory. - In a controller method, use the
str_replace()
function to replace a specific string with another:
public function replaceString($originalText)
{
$replacementText = str_replace('old_string', 'new_string', $originalText);
return view('string-replace', ['originalText' => $originalText, 'replacementText' => $replacementText]);
}
Step3: Define Route
- Open the
routes/web.php
file. - Define a route that uses the
replaceString
method in theStringReplaceController
:
Route::get('/string-replace/{text}', 'StringReplaceController@replaceString');
Part 2: String Replacement in Blade Templates
Step1: Create a Blade View
- Navigate to your Laravel project’s
resources/views
directory. - Create a new Blade view file. For example, name it “string-replace.blade.php”.
Step2: Perform String Replacement in Blade Template
- Open the “string-replace.blade.php” file.
- Inside the Blade template, use the
str_replace()
function to perform the string replacement:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>String Replacement Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Original Text: {{ $originalText }}</p>
<p>Replaced Text: {{ str_replace('old_string', 'new_string', $replacementText) }}</p>
</body>
</html>
Conclusion
You’ve successfully learned how to replace a specific string with another using both a Laravel controller method and directly within a Blade template. This approach provides flexibility in how you implement string replacement in your Laravel application.
