    Below is a scheme that might work for you
    (you can also read about str_replace here):
    $text = '...';

$text = str_replace("1", "audio", $text);
$text = str_replace("2", "video", $text);
$text = str_replace("3", "document", $text);
$text = str_replace("4", "document", $text);
$text = str_replace("5", "document", $text);

echo $text;

    No need to call the function multiple times. Baris can use his arrays.

    

$text = str_replace($find, $replace, $text);

    PHP:


    I used str_replace on another page. It worked. The code was

    echo "<td>" . str_replace($find, $replace, $row['type']) .  "</td>";
    PHP:

    I see you want to replace numbers with words? Where do there numbers come from? The database row? If $noticia[type] is only a number (1 to 5), I'd do something like this.

    

$replace = array(
     1 => "audio",
     2 => "video",
     3 => "document",
     4 => "document",
     5 => "document"
);

echo " [snip] <font face='Verdana' size='2'>". $replace[$noticia['type']] ."</font> [snip]";
