  //        note: The count parameter must be passed as a string in order
  //        note: to find a global variable in which the result will be given
  //   example 1: str_replace(' ', '.', 'Kevin van Zonneveld');
  //   returns 1: 'Kevin.van.Zonneveld'
  //   example 2: str_replace(['{name}', 'l'], ['hello', 'm'], '{name}, lars');
  //   returns 2: 'hemmo, mars'
