PHP- Str_Replace
str_replace --
Replace all occurrences of the
search string with the replacement
string
Description
mixed str_replace (mixed search,
mixed replace, mixed subject)
This function returns a string
or an array with all occurences of
search in subject replaced with
the given replace value. If you
don't need fancy replacing rules,
you should always use this
function instead of ereg_replace()
or preg_replace().
In PHP 4.0.5 and later, every
parameter to str_replace() can be
an array.
If subject is an array, then
the search and replace is
performed with every entry of
subject, and the return value is
an array as well.
If search and replace are
arrays, then str_replace() takes a
value from each array and uses
them to do search and replace on
subject. If replace has fewer
values than search, then an empty
string is used for the rest of
replacement values. If search is
an array and replace is a string;
then this replacement string is
used for every value of search.
The converse would not make sense,
though.
Example 1. str_replace() example
$bodytag = str_replace("%body%",
"black", "<body text=%body%>");
This function is binary safe.
Note: str_replace() was added
in PHP 3.0.6, but was buggy
up until PHP 3.0.8.
