note 105473 added to function.mb-eregi-replace

when trying to find a way to strip newline from a multibyte UTF-8 string i got to this function just to discover later that POSIX don't "do" newline so i can't strip them, examples of what i tried are : \r\n , \\r\\n , (\\r\\n) (\\r|\\n) and got no result so since i wanted something like mb_nl2br() that's simple i wrote this little recursive function for UTF-8: function mb_str_replace($find,$replace,&$str) { $i = mb_strpos($str,$find, 0,"UTF-8"); if ($index===false) {return;} $str = mb_substr($str, 0,$i).$replace.mb_substr($str, $i+mb_strlen($find,"UTF-8"),mb_strlen($str,"UTF-8")); $this->mb_str_replace($find,$replace,$str); } note: moderate unit tesing was done, changed to other encodings ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 79.183.24.73 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-eregi-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105473 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105473 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105473 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
