Search and replace inside an associative array

Question

I need to search and replace inside an associative array.

ex:

$user = \"user1\"; // I\'ve updated this

$myarray = array(\"user1\" => \"search1\",         


        

Answer 1

$originalArray = array( "user1" => "search1" , "user2" => "search2" );
$pattern = 'search1';
$replace = 'search4';

$replacedArray = preg_replace( '/'.$pattern.'/' , $replace , $originalArray );
