It depends. If str_replace works for your case, I think is faster and less memory consumer than preg_replace

If you want to replace a string in a lot of files once (e.g., you have something in your source code which you want to replace), sed might be the right tool for the job.

man sed

preg_replace

Is a good way to go and uses regular expressions so you have flexibility as to how to do it.

The usual suspects would be str_replace and preg_replace.
