Bug #5919 Updated: stri_replace() to compliment str_replace()

ID: 5919 Updated by: webmaster@tsn.dk Reported By: juhl@eisenstein.dk Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Slackware Linux 7.0 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: I think it's a shame that two years after this feature was requested it has not been implemented... Lots of people are missing this feature and therefore it would be a great addition to PHP... If anyone knows how to make a patch for this, please do so... I am sure it would be appreciated by many. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-21 20:09:48] gearond@cvc.net Russians call the '@', little dog, 'sabachkee'. Anyway, I like the idea of stri_replace because the only alternative is a slower, and more complex usage of [eregi|pregi]_replace. And if one is replacing a lot of symbols, (like I am), and not just strings, then extensive knowledge of regex is required , (which I don't have yet), to replace all the symbols. I'm trying to escape all the key words and key symbols in Oracle's applications. Works great with str_replace, **IF** I want to change the whole string to upper or lower case, or use a function of my own. Otherwise, it sucks. I am implementing one of my own for now though, (actually copying the non recursive one under 'str_replace()'. To see an example of it, see: http://www.qweeka.com/db_tools.php after memorial day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-02 18:19:14] philip@php.net I marked similar feature requests as duplicates (bugs #10352 and #14215) and am changing the status of this to open.
