#23654 [NEW]: for nested arryas, str_replace return wrong value

From: marcel_preda at yahoo dot com Operating system: any PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: for nested arryas, str_replace return wrong value I suppose that the problem is in ALL PHP versions. from PHP manual: --- mixed str_replace ( mixed search, mixed replace, mixed subject [, int &count]) --- If `subject' is a nested array the return is strange (at least unexpected) For example, next pice of code: <?php $x = array ( 'abc', 'xayz', array('ddddadddd ', ' fffffffffff ' ) ); $y=str_replace('a','A',$x); print_r($y); ?> I'm expecting as output: Array ( [0] => Abc [1] => xAyz [2] => Array ( [0] => ddddAdddd [1] => fffffffffff ) ) But, the output is: Array ( [0] => Abc [1] => xAyz [2] => ArrAy ) I thnik that str_replace should do a recursive call, with type checking. For now I've solve the problem in my own way: // for nested arrays as `subject' looks like str_replace has wrong return function my_str_replace($search, $replace, $mixed) { if (is_string($mixed)) return str_replace($search, $replace, $mixed ); if(is_array($mixed)) { foreach($mixed AS $key=>$value) $mixed[$key] = my_str_replace($search, $replace, $value); return $mixed; }; // non interesting types return $mixed; } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23654&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23654&r=gnused
