$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)。

=> 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));
}

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));
}

我会用孕妇代替。它有一个LIMIT参数，你可以将它设置为1

preg_replace (regex, subst, string, limit) // default is -1

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
