Hi there, I am highlighting keywords with the help of pregreplace. This works great with one limitation. If the word that has to be replaced contains a slash, preg throws an error. So far I could not find a fix. Can someone help? Here is the code:

       $pattern = "/\b($words)\b/is";

$replace = '<span style="background:#FF0000;color:#FCCCCC;">\\1</span>'; return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str); Thank you in advance, Merlin
