Note Submitter: njean2001 at yahoo dot com ---- To Kai Hoerner If you want to replace only a specific occurance of a needle, you can use this handy function: I have found a bug in your function. function str_replace_occurance($search, $replace, $subject, $occurance) { $pos = 0; for ($i = 0; $i <= $occurance; $i++) { // Rather than this //$pos = strpos($subject, $search, $pos); // It is better to do this, to avoid a loop into the same result. $pos = strpos($subject, $search, $pos+1); } return substr_replace($subject, $replace, $pos, strlen($search)); }
