An <type>array</type> of <type>string</type>s can be provided, in which

the <parameter>replacement</parameter>, <parameter>start</parameter>

scalar values to be applied to each input string in turn, or as
<type>array</type>s, in which case the corresponding array element will

If given and is positive, it represents the length of the portion of
<parameter>string</parameter> which is to be replaced. If it is
negative, it represents the number of characters from the end of
<parameter>string</parameter> at which to stop replacing. If it
is not given, then it will default to strlen(
<parameter>string</parameter> ); i.e. end the replacing at the
end of <parameter>string</parameter>. Of course, if
<parameter>length</parameter> is zero then this function will have the
effect of inserting <parameter>replacement</parameter> into
<parameter>string</parameter> at the given
<parameter>start</parameter> offset.
