STR_REPLACE TROUBLE

Hello, I have a problem using str_replace and I'm wandering if it's not a bug of PHP.

I'm using PHP 5.3.5 compiled with MSVC6 (Visual C++ 6.0) , running with Apache 2.2.17 and windows 2008 server

I want to replace only the first occurence of a string:
$num_of_replace = 1;
str_replace("REF_PRODUIT"," COUNT(*) ","SELECT REF_PRODUIT FROM PRODUITS WHERE REF_PRODUIT = 'BIN24101' ",$num_of_replace)
the expected result is
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PRODUITS WHERE REF_PRODUIT = 'BIN24101' // GOOD
but it seem to not use the parameter $num_of_replace and it replace ALL occurences:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PRODUITS WHERE COUNT(*) = 'BIN24101' // NOT GOOD

is there anything wrong in my code ??

Thanks for yur help !

@bportlock:

Just to be clear that I wasn't complaining. :)

@R-Byter - It's OK. This is the correct thing to do. I was surprised to have my contribution accepted, I expected perhaps an assist, no more.
