[PHP] str_replace() problem

[René Fournier]

I am performing a str_replace() on a large string, and everything works 
fine, except that two of the elements I'm searching for (and replacing) 
have the same first letters. To keep it the issue clear, here's a 
simple example of what I'm talking about:

Blue
Blueberry
Now, if I use:

str_replace("Blue","Red",$paragraph);
str_replace("Blueberry","Strawberry",$paragraph);
...all occurrences of Blue—including Blueberry—will be replaced with 
Red. The result will be something like:

Red
Redberry
...But what I want is...

Red
Strawberry
 I need str_replace to somehow only search for a complete occurrence of 
each item. How do I do that? I've read the docs, and I just can't see 
any examples.

Thanks.

...Rene
