Re: Exact string replacement...

use substr_replace string substr_replace(string text, string replacement, integer start, integer length) EG: <? $text = "Wow! This is neat, yes it is!"; print($text); print('<br>'); print(substr_replace($text, "are", 10, 2)); ?> 10 is the place where you want it to start replacement, 2 (is) more forward it ends.
