Inserting icon before str replace

Hello,
I am importing a column called productsupportstatus – values are “Supported” or “Not Supported”.

I successfully used this string to replace “Not Supported” with “Contact Us”.
[str_replace(“Not Supported”, “Contact Us”, {productsupportstatus[1]})]

Now I want to add a green icon in front of “Supported” and a blue icon in front of “Contact Us” using my theme’s icon font. I am trying to do this by adding a span in the string above, but it isn’t working. I was going to use CSS to change the colors. WP All Import isn’t allowing me to add a span in the string (inside the content text editor), and I don’t know PHP yet to successfully write a PHP script in the function editor.

Can someone help? This is what I have for inline PHP & CSS
[str_replace(“Not Supported”, “Contact Us”, {productsupportstatus[1]})]

[str_replace(“Supported”, “Supported”, {productsupportstatus[1]})]

.blue-icon:before {
content: “\e034”; //this is from Divi’s icon library
font-size: 64px;
color: blue;
font-family: ‘ETmodules’
}

.green-icon:before {
content: “\e034″; //this is from Divi’s icon library
font-size: 64px;
color: green;
font-family: ‘ETmodules’
}

This is what I tried in the Function Editor
<?php
if($productsupportstatus===’Supported’) {
?>

<?php
}
?>

<?php
if($productsupportstatus===’Not Supported’) {
//maybe this should be the new value of ‘Contact Us’?
?>

<?php
}
?>

@donahmar my first recommendation is that you really shouldn’t be storing HTML in the status field. There should be frontend/presentation code that adds that elsewhere based on the values. What plugin are you importing data into that has a field called productsupportstatus?

The other thing is that with the function editor the expectation is that it is taking the input into a function and the function is returning the value. This documentation page gives you some examples of how that works.

productsupportstatus is a column in the file I am importing — not a field or plugin.
I am not importing the productsupportstatus as HTML, I am just trying to append a span to the values so it displays an icon.

However, it sounds like the Function Editor is how I will get it done. Now I have to learn PHP lol. Thanks @tnolte !

@donahmar inserting the span tag is HTML. Since I don’t have the full picture of what type of post this is creating I can’t provide a better alternative but it just seems like there might be a better way of accomplishing what you are doing. Since I’m on my phone it’s a little bit harder for me to provide you with some code for the function. When I have a chance to get in my computer I can get something written.

I solved it with the following:

//in content area
```
[setIcon({productsupportstatus[1]})]
//in Function Editor
<?php
	function setIcon($productsupportstatus){
		$productsupportstatus = str_replace('Not Supported', ' Contact Us',$productsupportstatus);
		$productsupportstatus = str_replace('Supported', ' Supported',$productsupportstatus);
	return $productsupportstatus;}
?>
```
