replace double qoute with inch PHP

Question

I have an variable $query which holds for example 5.6" display or 5.6 " display is there anyway to change it to 5.6 inch display for both of the previous given examples? I tried using preg_split but I had no luck so far.

Is the variable guaranteed to only have the double quotes after a number? — Daryl Gill, May 12 '15 at 20:35

You can use

str_replace('"', ' inch', $query);

To replace any quotation marks with " inch"

If you put in 5.6" it will output

5.6 inch

EDIT: If you want to remove double spaces of which would happen if you input

5.6 "

Then you should run this code after

preg_replace('/\s/', ' ', $query);

@steven wait, he's still reading the question :) – Rizier123 May 12 '15 at 20:37
**Hint**. The solution is not necessarily a simple `str_replace` – Daryl Gill May 12 '15 at 20:39

@Enayet You're slowly getting there. Keep trying – Daryl Gill May 12 '15 at 20:43
Why don't you just provide your own answer? I've given a solution that will work but if you have a solution that works better then go ahead and share – Enayet Hussain May 12 '15 at 20:45
It's a learning curve for you also. OP is looking to replace a double quote after a number (could include a white space before and after) followed by a string – Daryl Gill May 12 '15 at 20:48
Yeah I know that's why I'm eager to hear your solution. I'm not here to disagree I'm here to learn :) – Enayet Hussain May 12 '15 at 20:51
