Introduction: preg_replace performs regular expression search and replacement. If you are simply matching strings, it is recommended to use str_replace(), because its execution efficiency is much higher.
mixed preg_replace (mixed pattern, mixed replacement, mixed subject [, int limit])
Search the subject for a match of the pattern pattern and replace it with replacement. If limit is specified, only limit matches are replaced; if limit is omitted or has a value of -1, all matches are replaced.
