String Mystery

I have a string $element="xxxxxx". I wish to change the second character from 'x' to 'p'. Seems like this should work:
substr_replace($element,"P",1,1);

But this makes no change at all. Why not?

The new string value is returned instead of working directly on the string.

$element = "xxxxxx";
$element = substr_replace($element, "P", 1, 1);
echo $element;
