Re: [BugFest] Feature request #38685: str_[i]replace(): Add support for (string needle, array replace)

I wouldn't consider this a BC break. Anybody who relies on implicit array->string conversion has a bug anyway, and we allow that implicit conversion to survive only for legacy reasons, but I don't think it should drag behind itself the promise we'd never support array parameter where there was only string before. In summary, I'd say no BC break here. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
