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。

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

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));
}

        return $subject;

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
