Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP str_replace() Function.

The PHP str_replace() function is used to replace the string with another string.

This function follows some specified rules while working, these rules are given below:

  • If the string to be searched is an array, this function returns an array.

  • If both find and replace are arrays, and replace has fewer elements than find, then an empty string will be used as replace.
