i'm looking for a function that can highlight certain search terms in a string. anyone have something already made that i can plugin to my exisiting code? I found a couple but they do not work very well.. some break html code if the string contains the keywords in the html. thanks.
You can use str_replace to "highlight" the search terms. For example, you could use the following code for each search term (this function also accepts arrays, see http://php.net/str_replace): str_replace ($search_term, "<b>$search_term</b>", $body_text); - David I forgot to mention that if you wanted to have a highlighting effect, you will need to use stylesheets.
