The 'Add cyclic string replacements' RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/cyclic-replace)
implements str_replace(search=<string>, replace=<array>). This RFC targets version 7.1.

oops, didn't notice this was assigned to me.
I don't see that breaking BC since the current behavior is to convert $replace to a string if
$search is not an array, hence
str_replace('search',array('re','place'),'search my search for a
search') would be a new condition to be handled.
The only behavior I see this breaking is those who expect the above to return 'Array my Array
for a Array' (which is a pretty esoteric behavior), would now get 're my place for a
re'
If you can get a concensus from php.internals, then it shouldn't be terribly hard to implement.

better will be done with :
<?php
$a = array("one", "two", "three");
$s = "[text]";
echo str_replace(array('text'), array_values($a), str_repeat($s, 10));
?>
but this doesn't work.
So, reclassifying as feature request for str_replace().
"str_replace() should behave differently when string is used as [search] and array is passed as
[replace]".
Pollita, any comment on that. If that will break BC, then we will "won't fix" this.
Thanks.

Is is possible third parameter to be added to str_repeat().
In case in the string there is a name of a variable and it is of type array the following code :
foreach ($some_arr as $k =$v){
$output .= '<some_html>...'.$v.'....</some_html>';
}
to be in one line
$output = str_repeat('<some_html>...$some_arr
...</some_html>',count($some_arr),REPEAT_SUBSITUTE);
Regards,
Andrey Hristov
