str_ireplace

[windandwaves]

Does anyone know of a function that works like str_ireplace in PHP < 5?

str_ireplace(a,b,c) replaces a with b in c, just like str_replace, but case
insensitive.

TIA

Nicolaas,

Does anyone know of a function that works like str_ireplace in PHP < 5?
mixed preg_replace ( mixed pattern, mixed replacement, mixed subject [,
int limit [, int &count]] )

then just run it with a flag of i. so take your example:

preg_replace('/b/i', 'a', 'c')

a better example of this would be:
$subject = 'this is my MOM';
$pattern = '/mom/i';
$replace = 'DAD';
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $subject);

str_ireplace(a,b,c) replaces a with b in c, just like str_replace, but case
insensitive.

Hi why don't you just do the following to get the same result?

$var = strtolower$var); //convert string to lower case
str_ireplace(..., $var);

if you don't want to convert the original string just do

$var = 'SomE STrinG';

$testvar = strtolower($var);
$str_ireplace(..., $testvar);
