<para>
This function returns a copy of <parameter>str</parameter>,
translating all occurrences of each character in
<parameter>from</parameter> to the corresponding character in
<parameter>to</parameter> and returning the result.
</para>
<para>
If <parameter>from</parameter> and <parameter>to</parameter> are
different lengths, the extra characters in the longer of the two
are ignored.
<example>
<title><function>strtr</function> example</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
$addr = strtr($addr, "äåö", "aao");
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
<function>strtr</function> can be called with only two
arguments. If called with two arguments it behaves in a new way:
<parameter>from</parameter> then has to be an array that contains
string -> string pairs that will be replaced in the source
string. <function>strtr</function> will always look for the
longest possible match first and will *NOT* try to replace stuff
that it has already worked on.
</para>
<para>
Examples:
<informalexample>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
$trans = array("hello" => "hi", "hi" => "hello");
echo strtr("hi all, I said hello", $trans) . "\n";
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
This will show: "hello all, I said hi",
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
This optional <parameter>to</parameter> and
<parameter>from</parameter> parameters were added in PHP 4.0.0
</simpara>
</note>
<para>
See also <function>ereg_replace</function>.
