I try to implement a php operator, but without success. The only documentation I could find about it is a comment in template.ini

What I need is a string replace function, like the php function str_replace.
So I added this to /settings/override/template.ini.append.php:

[PHP]
PHPOperatorList[replace]=str_replace

I hoped that something like this would work to create a url to the current node in another siteaccess, for a multilingual site (any other suggestions also welcome!):

{$node.url|ezurl(no)|replace('/eng/','/deu/')}

but the result is the same as without the replace() operat or.

I also tried this:

{replace('/eng/','/deu/',$node.url|ezurl(no))}

but then the result is 'Array'.

You can only use php operators that take one parameter: See http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/development/kernel/custom_template_operators
under limitations.

Instead you'll have to check your language in site.ini an make the url using the concat function.

Problem with hardcoded urls is that it isn't portable between different configurations.
I used the ezurl() operator to automatically add the index.php(?) if needed. My development site runs on a machine with mod_php, and the production server uses CGI, so they need different urls.
