You may (or may not) be able to get something going with that extra
optional last argument to str_replace which tells how many characters to
replace.

str_replace('k', 'c', 'kayak', 1) ==> cayak

You probably should step back and use soundex, or one of the other "sound
like" modules in PHP as Greg suggested though, as a word with THREE k's in
it will maybe be too much hassle...
