最简单的方法是使用正则表达式。

另一种方法是用strpos()找到字符串的位置，然后用substr_replace()

但我真的会选择RegExp。

可以用preg_replace完成:

function str_replace_first($search, $replace, $subject)
{
    $search = '/'.preg_quote($search, '/').'/';
    return preg_replace($search, $replace, $subject, 1);
}

echo str_replace_first('abc', '123', 'abcdef abcdef abcdef'); 
// outputs '123def abcdef abcdef'

神奇之处在于可选的第四个参数[Limit]。从文档中可以看到:

[极限]-最大可能 每个中的每个模式的替换 主题字符串。默认为-1 (no 限制)。

不过，请参阅zombat的回答以获得更有效的方法(大约快3-4倍)。

$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。

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:

Substr_replace ($string， $replace, strrpos($string， $search)， strlen($search)); [贡献BY] => oLinkSoftware - modified僵尸 [OOO.OOO.OOO。S] => ooo [平均时间]=> 0.0000068083 [慢]=>最快 Strrev (implode(Strrev ($replace)， explosion (Strrev ($search)， Strrev ($string)， 2))); [贡献BY] => oLinkSoftware [OOO.OOO.OOO。S] => ooo [平均时间]=> 0.0000084460 [慢]=> 24.05%

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

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));
}
