Btw the message is not very clear as it mentions from and len that are not within the doc. (in my real source code, $len was extracted as string from a database). When $len is an integer, the function works as expected. Tested ok on php 5.3.10 Tested Not ok on php 7.0.3 Best regards, Pascal KISSIAN Test script: --------------- test results on https://3v4l.org/svDrE <?php $line = str_repeat(' ',20); $value ='03'; $pos=0; $len='2'; $line = substr_replace($line,$value,$pos,$len); echo "[$line]\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- [03 ] Actual result: -------------- Warning: substr_replace(): 'from' and 'len' should be of same type - numerical or array in /in/svDrE on line 3 [ ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71827&edit=1
