$str = "Hello there folks!"
$str_ex = explode("there, $str, 2);   //explodes $string just twice
                                      //outputs: array ("Hello ", " folks")
$str_final = implode("", $str_ex);    // glues above array together
                                      // outputs: str("Hello  folks")

还有一个额外的空间，但这并不重要，因为它是背景脚本在我的情况下。

为了扩展zombat的答案(我认为这是最好的答案)，我创建了他的函数的递归版本，该函数接受$limit参数来指定要替换的次数。

function str_replace_limit($haystack, $needle, $replace, $limit, $start_pos = 0) {
    if ($limit <= 0) {
        return $haystack;
    } else {
        $pos = strpos($haystack,$needle,$start_pos);
        if ($pos !== false) {
            $newstring = substr_replace($haystack, $replace, $pos, strlen($needle));
            return str_replace_limit($newstring, $needle, $replace, $limit-1, $pos+strlen($replace));
        } else {
            return $haystack;
        }
    }
}

对于字符串

$string = 'OOO.OOO.OOO.S';
$search = 'OOO';
$replace = 'B';

//replace ONLY FIRST occurance of "OOO" with "B"
    $string = substr_replace($string,$replace,0,strlen($search));
    //$string => B.OOO.OOO.S

//replace ONLY LAST occurance of "OOOO" with "B"
    $string = substr_replace($string,$replace,strrpos($string,$search),strlen($search)) 
    //$string => OOO.OOO.B.S

    //replace ONLY LAST occurance of "OOOO" with "B"
    $string = strrev(implode(strrev($replace),explode(strrev($search),strrev($string),2)))
    //$string => OOO.OOO.B.S

对于单个字符

$string[strpos($string,$search)] = $replace;


//EXAMPLE

$string = 'O.O.O.O.S';
$search = 'O';
$replace = 'B';

//replace ONLY FIRST occurance of "O" with "B" 
    $string[strpos($string,$search)] = $replace;  
    //$string => B.O.O.O.S

//replace ONLY LAST occurance of "O" with "B" 
    $string[strrpos($string,$search)] = $replace; 
    // $string => B.O.O.B.S

我想知道哪一个是最快的，所以我都测试了。

下面你会发现:

所有功能都在相同的设置下进行测试:

$string = 'OOO.OOO.OOO.S';
$search = 'OOO'; 
$replace = 'B';

仅替换字符串中字符串第一次出现的函数:

仅替换字符串中最后一次出现的字符串的函数:

不幸的是，我不知道任何PHP函数可以做到这一点。 你可以像这样很容易地自己卷:

function replace_first($find, $replace, $subject) {
    // stolen from the comments at PHP.net/str_replace
    // Splits $subject into an array of 2 items by $find,
    // and then joins the array with $replace
    return implode($replace, explode($find, $subject, 2));
}

function str_replace_once($search, $replace, $subject) {
    $pos = strpos($subject, $search);
    if ($pos === false) {
        return $subject;
    }

    return substr($subject, 0, $pos) . $replace . substr($subject, $pos + strlen($search));
}
