<para>
Removes the elements designated by <parameter>offset</parameter> and
<parameter>length</parameter> from the <parameter>input</parameter> array,
and replaces them with the elements of the
<parameter>replacement</parameter> array, if supplied.

If <parameter>replacement</parameter> is not an array, it will be
<link linkend="language.types.array.casting">typecast</link>
to one (i.e. <code>(array) $replacement</code>). This may result in unexpected
behavior when using an object or &null; <parameter>replacement</parameter>.
