This is impossible due to the fact that ereg_replace() supports the specifying of ascii values as a replacement argument.

But preg_replace('/4/', 3, '124') will produce '123' as
expected. Even if it's not a bug, it still would be nice
if that number would be autoconverted to string.

You are correct in saying that the second argument is a
'replacement string', not a number. The documentation
is very clear about this.

When using ereg_replace() with a numeric 2nd argument (replacement string), this argument is treated as an empty string.
ereg_replace('4', 3, '124') produces '12' instead of '123'.
