$string = 'this is my world, not my world';
$find = 'world';
$replace = 'farm';
$result = preg_replace("/$find/",$replace,$string,1);
echo $result;

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)。

我想知道哪一个是最快的，所以我都测试了。

下面你会发现:

这个页面上的所有功能的综合列表 对每个贡献进行基准测试(平均执行时间超过10,000次运行) 链接到每个答案(完整代码)

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%

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));
}

这个函数很大程度上受到@ renoor回答的启发。 它使函数多字节安全。

function str_replace_limit($search, $replace, $string, $limit)
{
    $i = 0;
    $searchLength = mb_strlen($search);

    while(($pos = mb_strpos($string, $search)) !== false && $i < $limit)
    {
        $string = mb_substr_replace($string, $replace, $pos, $searchLength);
        $i += 1;
    }

    return $string;
}

function mb_substr_replace($string, $replacement, $start, $length = null, $encoding = null)
{
    $string = (array)$string;
    $encoding = is_null($encoding) ? mb_internal_encoding() : $encoding;
    $length = is_null($length) ? mb_strlen($string) - $start : $length;

    $string = array_map(function($str) use ($replacement, $start, $length, $encoding){

        $begin = mb_substr($str, 0, $start, $encoding);
        $end = mb_substr($str, ($start + $length), mb_strlen($str), $encoding);

        return $begin . $replacement . $end;

    }, $string);

    return ( count($string) === 1 ) ? $string[0] : $string;
}

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

/**

 *
 * @param  string $search  a char to search in `$subject`
 * @param  string $replace a char to replace in `$subject`
 * @param  string $subject

 *

 */
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;
}
