            Hello,
            Firstly, sorry for unclear subject. I don't know how to
            write it shortly
            and clear, due to my limited English skills.
            I'm wondering if this wouldn't be better solution to link from
            str_ireplace() to str_replace() and delete duplicated content.
            Basically, the approach as in require and include pair.
            What do you think?
            Regards,
            Maciej.
        I think this would make the doku less readable, because you will
        have to list the different function definitions.

    Hello Christian,
    I probably made it unclear. I do not want to merge those pages. I'm
    proposing to leave str_ireplace() but remove duplicated content. So,
    basically, leave function signature on str_ireplace() and leave
    description saying that user can use it instead of preg_replace()
    with i modifier and that further documentation is available on
    str_replace() page.
    As far as I can see rest of information is the same on both pages so
    I think that it makes no sense to keep it duplicated and maintain
    two places instead of one.
I would rather have (keep) full documentation for each of the two functions. Common pieces should be moved out to entities, to be included in both pages… that’s what the entities files are there for!
    Maciej.
However, for some reason, we decided not to put include/require content in entities but just link between pages. Our users are still alive and we have less content to maintain. Just saying ;) It's not very important to me, I rather posted this as a proposal to make our life easier users expierience more consistent. Regards, Maciej.
