PHP String Exercises: Insert a string at the specified position in a given string
17. Insert a String at a Specified Position
Write a PHP script to insert a string at the specified position in a given string.
Original String : 'The brown fox'
Insert 'quick' between 'The' and 'brown'.
Visual Presentation:
Sample Solution:
PHP Code:
<?php
$original_string = 'The brown fox';
// Define the original string.
$string_to_insert ='quick';
// Define the string to be inserted.
$insert_pos = 4;
// Define the position where the insertion will occur.
$new_string = substr_replace($original_string, $string_to_insert.' ', $insert_pos, 0);
// Insert the substring at the specified position in the original string.
echo $new_string."\n";
// Output the modified string.
?>
Output:
The quick brown fox
Explanation:
The above PHP code snippet inserts the string ''quick'' into the original string ''The brown fox'' at position 4 (zero-based indexing). It uses the 'substr_replace()' function, which replaces a portion of a string with another string. The inserted string is followed by a space to ensure proper spacing. Finally, it outputs the modified string ''The quick brown fox''.
