RE: [PHP] replacing first occurence

[Maxim Maletsky \(PHPBeginner.com\)]

Two ways:

1.  $string = preg_replace(^.{1}, 'h', 'bill');   // will make
'h'ill out of 'b'ill
2.  $string = 'h'.substr('bill', 1);// will
get rid of the first char and concatenate

 of a , in a string?

Let's replace the first  ,  with a  ! and if  ,  does 
not exist at all let's not replace anything.  Change 
according to taste:


  $str = 'Hello, I love you!';

  if (($pos = strpos($str, ',')) !== false) {
  $str{$pos} = '!';
  }

  print $str;// Hello! I love you!';
  print $pos;// 5
  print $str{0}; // H
  print $str{5}; // !

Philip Olson
