Strtr requires an array as the second argument?

Question

I am calling code like

strtr($somevars['thisvar'], "abc")

Where $somevars['thisvar'] contains a string.

And it's giving me

Warning:  strtr() [function.strtr]: The second argument is not an array

Why?

Answer 1

You have two possibilties for strtr:

string strtr ( string $str , string $from , string $to );

string strtr ( string $str , array $replace_pairs );

So even you add a third parameters and you can use a string, or you set an array and don't add a third parameter :)

Answer 2

Warning: strtr() [function.strtr]: The second argument is not an array

strtr != strstr
