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.
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.
See also ereg_replace(),
preg_replace(), and strtr().
