What is the difference between str_replace() and string_replace() in PHP?

The issue is that there is no built-in function called string_replace() in PHP. The correct function to use for replacing substrings within a string is str_replace(). Using string_replace() will result in a PHP error as it is not recognized by the interpreter. 

// Incorrect usage of string_replace()
$string = "Hello, World!";
$new_string = string_replace("Hello", "Hi", $string); // This will throw an error

// Correct usage of str_replace()
$string = "Hello, World!";
$new_string = str_replace("Hello", "Hi", $string);
echo $new_string; // Output: Hi, World!
