Just change the order and do the "search and replace" on "Blueberry" before doing it
on "Blue."
Ei:
str_replace("Blueberry","Strawberry",$paragraph);
str_replace("Blue","Red",$paragraph);
or:
str_replace(array("Blueberry", "Blue"), array("Strawberry", "Red"), $paragraph);

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.
