Description:
------------
Hi guys,
After a discussion in the list, I've reread the manual page
(http://www.php.net/str_replace) and the comments, checked Google, but
need some confirmation.
When using an array as the search argument in str_replace(), the array
is processed first to last. As expected, but this behaviour is not
documented and therefor not reliable for my project.
$s = "Input\r\nMore input\rSome more\nEtc";
echo str_replace(array("\r\n", "\n", "\r"), '<BR>', $s);
This works as expected (putting exactly one <BR> between every line of
input). Related comment on the manual page is from "jr at adslate dot
com (03-Jun-2004 02:52)".
But since it's not documented, I can't rely on this. If the order of
replacement is ever switched, my code stops working properly.
Now I have to do this, to process all OS specific line breaks
correctly:
$s = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $s);
$s = str_replace("\r", "\n", $s);
echo str_replace("\n", '<BR>', $s);
Can you guys please document the order of handling the search array?
Thanks a bunch for all of your work.
