Have you checked the PHP documentation? This is clearly explained:
<http://php.net/str_replace>.

In this case, however, it seems unnecessary. The `str_replace'
function will already return the altered array when the `subject'
parameter is an array. So, in the OP's code snippet above, we need
to change the `str_replace' line:

<?php
$i = 0;

/* ... */

$arr = str_replace('red', 'pink', $arr, $i);
print_r($arr);
?>
