note 21735 added to function.str-replace

If you want to replace only the first occurence of a string you can use this function: function str_replace_once($needle, $replace, $haystack) { // Looks for the first occurence of $needle in $haystack // and replaces it with $replace. $pos = strpos($haystack, $needle); if ($pos === false) { // Nothing found return $haystack; } return substr_replace($haystack, $replace, $pos, strlen($needle)); } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21735 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21735 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21735
