The function str_replace() supports array arguments:

var_dump(
  str_replace(array('yes', 'no'), array('1', '0'), $data)
);

strtr() supports an replacement array:

var_dump(
  strtr($data, array('yes' => 1, 'no' => 0))
);

$str = 'This is yes, this is no';
$str = preg_replace(array('/yes/i', '/no/i'), array('1', '0'), $str);

echo $str; // This is 1, this is 0
