You use array in first parameter of str_ireplace.

$nn="ab bc cd cd ab";
$replace_words = array("ab", "cd");
$tttt = str_ireplace($replace_words, "aaa", $nn);

You may use preg_replace which accepts regex as the first argument. ab|cd would match ab or cd.

preg_replace('~cd|ab~i', 'aaa', $nn);

And add i modifier for doing case-insensitive match.
