#20221 [NEW]: str_replace

From: panacode@skynet.be Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: str_replace str_replace when used with with arrays, for every element in the search/replace arrays a simple replace in the source string (rather than using an external string) is performed. This causes an unexpected result like if one of the replace values includes a search value it will be replaced in a subsequent replacing action. If this is a feature rather than a bug (which I doubt) please state it in the documentation. An example: $vSearch[] = '@gill'; $vSearch[] = '@doubleyou'; $vReplace[] = '@doubleyou'; $vReplace[] = '@bates'; $sSubject = "@gill is my friend"; $sResult = str_replace($vSearch, $vReplace, $sSubject); echo $sResult; // will output "@bates is not my friend" instead // of "@doubleyou is not my friend" Best regards, Eugen Fernea IT Manager Panacode Software rue de la Station, 1/1 7090 Braine-Le-Comte Belgium E-mail: panacode@skynet.be Phone: +32 067/48 58 94 Mobile: +32 (0)472 95 15 48 Web: http://www.panacode.com -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20221&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20221&r=isapi
