[Resolved] str_replace case sensitive?

[TimTimTimma]

I was just doing some testing, and noticed if I have "hell" censored on my site, it replaces "hell" but does nothing to "HeLL" or "hElL" is there anyway to get around this and replace each regardless of the case?

str_replace() is case_sensitive, str_ireplace() is case in-sensitive.

damn to bad I am running on 4.3.11 but they provided another solution

function str_Ireplace($Needle, $Replacement, $Haystack){
   $i = 0;
   while($Pos = strpos(strtolower($Haystack), $Needle, $i)){
       $Haystack = substr($Haystack, 0, $Pos).$Replacement.substr($Haystack, $Pos+strlen($Needle));
       $i = $Pos+strlen($Replacement);
   }
   return $Haystack;
}

Sorry didn't think of that...might want to look at eregi_replace then, might be a bit overkill, but it's a case in-sensitive search for php4 etc. Example:

$str = 'HeLl';

echo eregi_replace('hell', 'blah', $str); // will echo 'blah'

Or you could do something similar to the example you found:

$str = 'HeLl';
echo str_replace('hell', 'blah', strtolower($str));

I thought of that, however, I would of ben stripping each entire article to lowercase and thats not what I wanted :-P
