Bug description: ER: Allow str_replace with string subject, array replace
Description:
------------
The PHP docs for str_replace say:
"If search and replace are arrays, then str_replace() takes a value from
each array and uses them to do search and replace on subject. If replace
has fewer values than search, then an empty string is used for the rest of
replacement values. If search is an array and replace is a string, then
this replacement string is used for every value of search. The converse
would not make sense, though."
I think the converse makes sense in some cases. Here is an example:
$result = str_replace("?", array("Joe", "Smith"), "SELECT * FROM people
WHERE first = ? AND last = ?");
(Yes, if you were doing real database work, you'd need to escape
everything.)
It would be nice if PHP supported this.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$result = str_replace("?", array("'Joe'", "'Smith'"), "SELECT * FROM
people WHERE first = ? AND last = ?");
print $result;
Expected result:
----------------
SELECT * FROM people WHERE first = 'Joe' AND last = 'Smith'
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in /Users/paul/- on line 2
