Re: str_replace on words?

I whipped this together, it should work ok. You'll want to clean it up, but you get the gist. <?php /* AC Was here */ $str="I'm going to the store to buy some stuff."; $bold=array("store","some","stuff"); function boldWord($str,$bold) { if(isset($str)) {

      foreach($bold as $b) {
        echo "$b should be <b>$b</b>\n";
              $str = eregi_replace($b,"<b>$b</b>",$str);
      }
      $string=$str;
      return $string;

} else {

      $string='The inputed variable $str was empty.';
      return $string;

} } // End function bracket // Example usage if(isset($str)) {

        $string=boldWord($str,$bold);
        echo "Original: $str \n";
        echo "New: $string\n";

} else {

        echo "Variable str not set.";

} ?>
