Req #14523 [Ana->Wfx]: Additional parameter for str_repeat()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14523&edit=1 ID: 14523 Updated by: krakjoe@php.net Reported by: ahristov at icygen dot com Summary: Additional parameter for str_repeat() -Status: Analyzed +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Strings related Operating System: * PHP Version: * Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Since I closed the RFC PR several years ago, and no new RFC was started, I think it's safe to assume that 20 years after this FR was opened, that we are not going to implement this feature. This report remains for reference but will be marked won't fix, as that more accurately represents the current status than does open.

This RFC targets version 7.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-26 19:14:18] pollita@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-31 11:25:42] andrey@php.net better will be done with : <?php $a = array("one", "two", "three"); $s = "[text]"; echo str_replace(array('text'), array_values($a), str_repeat($s, 10)); ?> but this doesn't work. So, reclassifying as feature request for str_replace(). "str_replace() should behave differently when string is used as [search] and array is passed as [replace]". Pollita, any comment on that. If that will break BC, then we will "won't fix" this. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-14 14:14:36] ahristov at icygen dot com Is is possible third parameter to be added to str_repeat(). In case in the string there is a name of a variable and it is of type array the following code : foreach ($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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14523&edit=1
