补充一下人们所说的，记住整个字符串是一个数组:

$string = "Lorem ipsum lá lá lá";

$string[0] = "B";

echo $string;

“Borem ipsum there there”

编辑:两个答案都已更新，现在是正确的。我将把答案留下，因为函数时间仍然是有用的。

“僵尸”和“太多php”的答案很不幸是不正确的。这是对僵尸发布的答案的修正(因为我没有足够的声誉来发表评论):

$pos = strpos($haystack,$needle);
if ($pos !== false) {
    $newstring = substr_replace($haystack,$replace,$pos,strlen($needle));
}

注意strlen($needle)，而不是strlen($replace)。Zombat的例子只有在针头和替代物长度相同的情况下才能正确工作。

下面是与PHP自己的str_replace具有相同签名的函数中的相同函数:

function str_replace_first($search, $replace, $subject) {
    $pos = strpos($subject, $search);
    if ($pos !== false) {
        return substr_replace($subject, $replace, $pos, strlen($search));
    }
    return $subject;
}

这是修改后的“too much php”的答案:

implode($replace, explode($search, $subject, 2));

注意最后的2而不是1。或函数格式:

function str_replace_first($search, $replace, $subject) {
    return implode($replace, explode($search, $subject, 2));
}

我对这两个函数进行了计时，当没有找到匹配时，第一个函数的速度是原来的两倍。当找到匹配时，它们的速度是一样的。

=> CODE已被修订，所以考虑一些太旧的注释

感谢大家帮助我改进这一点 有任何BUG，请与我沟通;我马上就去做

那么，让我们开始:

将第一个o替换为ea，例如:

$s='I love you';
$s=str_replace_first('o','ea',$s);
echo $s;

//output: I leave you

功能:

function str_replace_first($this,$that,$s)
{
    $w=strpos($s,$this);
    if($w===false)return $s;
    return substr($s,0,$w).$that.substr($s,$w+strlen($this));
}

为了扩展@ renoor的答案，我编写了一个与str_replace() 100%向后兼容的函数。也就是说，可以用str_replace_limit()替换所有出现的str_replace()，而不会搞砸任何事情，即使是使用数组进行$search、$replace和/或$subject。

如果您想用($string===strval(intval(strval($string))))))替换函数调用，则该函数可以完全自包含，但我不建议这样做，因为valid_integer()在处理作为字符串提供的整数时是一个相当有用的函数。

注意:只要可能，str_replace_limit()将使用str_replace()来代替，因此所有对str_replace()的调用都可以用str_replace_limit()来代替，而不用担心对性能的影响。

使用

<?php
$search = 'a';
$replace = 'b';
$subject = 'abcabc';

$limit = -1; // No limit
$new_string = str_replace_limit($search, $replace, $subject, $count, $limit);
echo $count.' replacements -- '.$new_string;

2个替换——BBCBBC

$limit = 1; // Limit of 1
$new_string = str_replace_limit($search, $replace, $subject, $count, $limit);
echo $count.' replacements -- '.$new_string;

1个替换——bbcabc

$limit = 10; // Limit of 10
$new_string = str_replace_limit($search, $replace, $subject, $count, $limit);

        // Return new $subject
        return $subject;

    }

}

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。

我创建了这个小函数，用limit替换字符串上的字符串(区分大小写)，而不需要Regexp。它工作得很好。

function str_replace_limit($search, $replace, $string, $limit = 1) {
    $pos = strpos($string, $search);

    if ($pos === false) {
        return $string;
    }

    $searchLen = strlen($search);

    for ($i = 0; $i < $limit; $i++) {
        $string = substr_replace($string, $replace, $pos, $searchLen);

        $pos = strpos($string, $search);

        if ($pos === false) {
            break;
        }
    }

    return $string;
}

使用示例:

$search  = 'foo';
$replace = 'bar';
$string  = 'foo wizard makes foo brew for evil foo and jack';
$limit   = 2;

$replaced = str_replace_limit($search, $replace, $string, $limit);

echo $replaced;
// bar wizard makes bar brew for evil foo and jack
