Description:
------------
str_[i]replace() has a count parameter that returns a variable (by reference) with a count of replacements.  This is not counting when the search string is one character in length.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$count = 0;
$str = str_replace('a', '', 'apples are good', $count);

echo $count;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
2

Actual result is 0.  The bug database didn't allow 0 as an actual or expected result value, but does now :)

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Happily.
