RE: [PHP] Re: Battling with highlighting search criteria

Hey there I told you my brain was feeling fuzzy :) This works great. Only one problem... I would like it to be case insensitive... Any way? I assume that it would be a ereg/preg replace, but I have no clue with regexp at all. Anyone who could help??

How about str_replace? $result = "This is a test, isn't it?"; $search = "is"; $replacement = '<span class="highlight">' . $search . '</span>'; $result = str_replace( $search, $replacement, $result ); HTH Erwin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
