PHP str_ireplace() Function
 Complete PHP String Reference
Definition and Usage
The str_ireplace() function replaces some characters with some other
characters in a string.
This function works by the following rules:
- If the string to be searched is an array, it returns an array
- If the string to be searched is an array, find and replace is performed with every
array element
- If both find and replace are arrays, and replace has fewer elements than
find, an empty string will be used as replace
- If find is an array and replace is a string, the replace string will
be used for every find value
