Hi there,
I am trying to mark words inside a sentence bold. Problem is, if there is an overlap it does not work anymore.
I am using this code: $t = str_replace($word, "<b>$word</b>", $text);
For eample:
Mark those words bold: adventure in singapore
Text: My adventure flying to singapore
The problem lays in the word "in". The code I use does produce following:
<b>s<b>in</b>gapore</b>
which of course does not work properly.
Does anybody have a good sugestion on how to improve this?`
I don't have it in front of me, but if you use preg I believe you can do something like:
preg_replace("/(\s)$word(\s)/", "\1<b>$word<\b>\2", $text);
or something like that. The "\s" matches whitespace..
