Replace The Last Occurrence Of a Character With PHP

In a recent project I had a need to replace the last occurrence of a character in a string with another string. While our first function works as intended, following are some others that we found on stackoverflow that also do as we intended. They're reproduced here for your benefit and as a reference for our team.

function beliefmedia_str_lreplace($string, $find, $replace) {
8
  if (strpos($string, $find) === false) return $string;
9
  $string = strrev(implode(strrev($replace), explode(strrev($find), strrev($string), 2)));
10
 return $string;

  if ($pos === false) return $string;

  $string = substr_replace($string, $replace, $pos, strlen($find));

function beliefmedia_str_lreplace($string, $find, $replace) {

  return preg_replace("/($find(?!.*$find.*))/", $replace, $string);

}

Usage

Example:

1
$string = 'cat, dog, frog, cow';
2
$find = ','; $replace = ', and';
3
 
4
echo beliefmedia_str_lreplace($string, $find, $replace);

returns: cat, dog, frog, and cow.
