$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。

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

如果你的字符串不包含任何多字节字符，如果你只想替换一个字符，你可以简单地使用strpos

这里是处理错误的函数

/**
 * Replace the first occurence of given string
 *
 * @param  string $search  a char to search in `$subject`
 * @param  string $replace a char to replace in `$subject`
 * @param  string $subject
 * @return string
 *
 * @throws InvalidArgumentException if `$search` or `$replace` are invalid or if `$subject` is a multibytes string
 */
function str_replace_first(string $search , string $replace , string $subject) : string {
    // check params
    if(strlen($replace) != 1 || strlen($search) != 1) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException('$search & $replace must be char');
    }elseif(mb_strlen($subject) != strlen($subject)){
        throw new InvalidArgumentException('$subject is an multibytes string');
    }
    // search 
    $pos = strpos($subject, $search);
    if($pos === false) {
        // not found
        return $subject;
    }

    // replace
    $subject[$replace] = $subject;

    return $subject;
}

你可以用这个:

function str_replace_once($str_pattern, $str_replacement, $string){ 

        if (strpos($string, $str_pattern) !== false){ 
            $occurrence = strpos($string, $str_pattern); 
            return substr_replace($string, $str_replacement, strpos($string, $str_pattern), strlen($str_pattern)); 
        } 

        return $string; 
    } 

从php.net找到这个例子

用法:

$string = "Thiz iz an examplz";
var_dump(str_replace_once('z','Z', $string)); 

输出:

ThiZ iz an examplz

这可能会降低一点性能，但这是最简单的解决方案。

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)。

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”
