Req #64259 [NEW]: Create strn_replace() function

From: d at duane dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.4.11 Package: Strings related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Create strn_replace() function Description: ------------ It'd be great to have a version of str_replace() that can be configured to work on a specified number of replacements. I propose that the function mixed strn_replace ( mixed $search , mixed $replace , mixed $subject, int $repetitions, [, int &$count ] ) Be created, which would do the same thing as str_replace() but only as many times as $repetitions was set to. See further discussion of the ways this problem is currently solved. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1252693/php-str-replace-that-only-acts-on- the-first-match I am up for adding this code in as a patch, but it'd be nice to have some feedback if this is desired. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64259&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64259&r=mysqlcfg
