This feature would be very helpfull!! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-29 23:02:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Only took 29 months to do it too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-28 18:38:40] mike dot h at iwmi dot com It would be extreamly great if some one....perhaps some one who volunteered might submit a patch to impliment this, 137 votes already, why can't we get some type of a feature voting system, to vote for the things that are the most important to those who don't have the skills, or perhaps time, or money to do these themselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-01 12:59:56] php at bkjproductions dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-30 05:55:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, if you really need it you can always hire a competent developer to do it, it's Open Source after all... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-30 04:49:55] fergus at serif dot net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
