question about str_replace function

Hi all, I got a doubt about the str_replace function. <?php $string="avenue 1, ave 1"; $words=str_replace ("ave","avenue", $string); echo $words; ?> the php code above will return me "avenuenue 1, avenue 1". i expect the result will be "avenue 1, avenue 1". any idea of how can i get such result?
