Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-05-09 06:18:14] requinix@php.net Sure it does. > If replace has fewer values than search, then an empty string is used for the rest of > replacement values. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-05-09 06:13:09] mark at manngo dot net Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/function.str-replace --- The document makes no mention of what happens if the replace array is smaller than the search array. It appears that the search characters will be replaced with an empty string. This may or may not be expected, as the alternative result might have been to ignore the characters. Test script: --------------- $string='apple banana cherry apple banana cherry apple banana cherry'; $search=['apple','banana']; $replace=['accordion','banjo']; print str_replace($search,$replace,$string); print "\n"; $replace=['accordion']; print str_replace($search,$replace,$string); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77994&edit=1
