    // %          note 1: The count parameter must be passed as a string in order
    // %          note 1:  to find a global variable in which the result will be given
    // *     example 1: str_replace(' ', '.', 'Kevin van Zonneveld');
    // *     returns 1: 'Kevin.van.Zonneveld'
    // *     example 2: str_replace(['{name}', 'l'], ['hello', 'm'], '{name}, lars');
    // *     returns 2: 'hemmo, mars'
