note 84917 added to function.str-ireplace

It's obvious str_ireplace() won't be multi-byte safe. Function mb_str_ireplace() is missing in php, so here's mine: <?php /** * Case insensitive multi-byte safe str_replace * @param string $search * @param string $replace * @param string $subject * @param int $count * @param string $encoding * @return string */ function mb_str_ireplace($search, $replace, $subject, $count = null, $encoding = 'utf-8') { $l1 = mb_strlen($search, $encoding); $rc = 0; $offset = 0; while (ok($p = mb_stripos($subject, $search, $offset, $encoding)) && (is_null($rc) || $rc <= $count)) { if (ok($p)) $subject = mb_substr($subject, $offset, $p, $encoding) . $replace . mb_substr($subject, $p + $l1, mb_strlen($subject, $encoding), $encoding); $offset = $p + $l1; $rc++; } return $subject; } ?> It works exactly like original str_ireplace() and defaults to 'utf-8' encoding. Replace with null if you like. Well, it's surely slower than built-in functions, however it's one of the fastest ways to do the trick. ---- Server IP: 82.160.94.10 Probable Submitter: 89.76.123.253 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-ireplace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84917 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84917 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84917 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
