Status: Open
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: Slackware Linux 7.0
PHP Version: 4.3.0
New Comment:
What about just adding a parameter to the existing function, rather
than making a whole new function? You could just put "sensitive" or
"insensitive" (maybe "callous?") or something on the end:
str_replace($a, $b, $c, "sensitive")
I think that some other languages (maybe the ill-fated Oracle Media
Objects) have that.
Another parameter could be "match" so that if
$a="street"
$b= "avenue"
$c= "1313 Mockingbird Street"
the result would be
"1313 Mockingbird Avenue"
the idea being that the search routine realized that
Street
was capitalized, so therefore
Avenue
should match the case.

Well, if you really need it you can always hire a competent developer
to do it, it's Open Source after all...

In reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED], perhaps the reason people capable of adding
this feature don't is because they have reached the level where they
are able to understand ereg_replace sufficiently. Unfortunately not all
developers can. It's elitist to argue that novices should be denied an
obviously useful function until they have mastered the language. Not to
mention that this function would speed up the development time for a
lot of developers.

Nothing is stopping you from submitting a patch that implements this.
People generally add the features they need. Apparently nobody capable
of writing this feature has ever needed it. (That might tell you
something)

I think it's a shame that two years after this feature was requested it
has not been implemented...
Lots of people are missing this feature and therefore it would be a
great addition to PHP... If anyone knows how to make a patch for this,
please do so... I am sure it would be appreciated by many.

Russians call the '@', little dog, 'sabachkee'. Anyway, I like the idea
of stri_replace because the only alternative is a slower, and more
complex usage of [eregi|pregi]_replace. And if one is replacing a lot
of symbols, (like I am), and not just strings, then extensive knowledge
of regex is required , (which I don't have yet), to replace all the
symbols. I'm trying to escape all the key words and key symbols in
Oracle's applications. Works great with str_replace, **IF** I want to
change the whole string to upper or lower case, or use a function of my
own. Otherwise, it sucks. I am implementing one of my own for now
though, (actually copying the non recursive one under 'str_replace()'.
To see an example of it, see: http://www.qweeka.com/db_tools.php after
memorial day.
