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;
}

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。

<?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;

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。

For循环解决方案

<?php
echo replaceFirstMatchedChar("&", "?", "/property/details&id=202&test=123#tab-6");

function replaceFirstMatchedChar($searchChar, $replaceChar, $str)
{
    for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {

        if ($str[$i] == $searchChar) {
            $str[$i] = $replaceChar;
            break;
        }
    }
    return $str;
}

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

        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);
