Message:

I use str_ireplace (not str_replace) to replace some words, but it doesn't seem to work with utf-8, e.g. "đ".

There are any solution for this issue?

Many thanks.

Example input

 str_ireplace("đ", "b", "bĐb");

My Answer:
special characters like accented letters or emojis.

To replace words with utf-8 characters, you can use the mb_eregi_replace function instead. This function is similar to str_ireplace but works with multibyte characters, including utf-8 characters.

Here's an example of how you can use mb_eregi_replace to replace words with utf-8 characters:

php
$text = "This is a café.";
$replaced_text = mb_eregi_replace("café", "coffee shop", $text);

echo $replaced_text;


In this example, the word "café" is replaced with "coffee shop" using mb_eregi_replace. This function should work correctly with utf-8 characters and special characters.
