For instance: $string = "/(PHP)/i"; $target = "Please highlight PhP for me."; echo $target, '<br>'; $target = preg_replace($string, "<b>\\1</b>", $target); echo $target, '<br>'; \\1 is whatever was found in the first parentheses(sp). -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
