note 86069 added to function.str-ireplace

If you want to keep the original capitalization when replacing some text, you can use this code I wrote:

<?php

function ext_str_ireplace($findme, $replacewith, $subject)
{
  // Replaces $findme in $subject with $replacewith
  // Ignores the case and do keep the original capitalization by using $1 in $replacewith
  // Required: PHP 5
  
  return substr($subject, 0, stripos($subject, $findme)).
         str_replace('$1', substr($subject, stripos($subject, $findme), strlen($findme)), $replacewith).
         substr($subject, stripos($subject, $findme)+strlen($findme));
}

?>

Example for using:

<?php

// Will print "RePlaCeMe" with red color, but after this it would be "replaceme", not "RePlaCeMe"
echo str_ireplace('replaceme', '<font color="#FF0000">$1</font>', 'Please RePlaCeMe, OK?');

// Will print "RePlaCeMe" with red color
echo ext_str_ireplace('replaceme', '<font color="#FF0000">$1</font>', 'Please RePlaCeMe, OK?');

?>
