Any suggestions That does make sence. You try to append <b> and prepend </b> to an array, which will (of course) be converted to string then. Result is that you're call to the str_replaced function can also be written as: str_replace( $reserved_words, '<b>Array</b>', $string ) which is definitely not what you want! You have two options: a) Create another array of reserved_words, only then appended and prepended with <b> and </b> b) Use the code from Olinux Option B sounds best to me ;-)) HTH Erwin
