Would be nice if there was another (optional) parameter in str_replace to make the replacing case-insensitive. As an example, I have a function to highlight search terms (uses str_replace to add a span tag and a CSS style). If you search for "this", the search script finds items containing "This" and "this" no problem but the str_replace will only highlight instances of "this". An optional parameter to do a case-insensitive str_replace would be useful for situations like these.
