Re: highlighting keywords problem

Why not do something that parses the text, and put's <SPAN ...> tags around the text, and use a stylesheet to highlight it? The problem (that I can find) is that you are using eregi_replace(), which is case-insensitive. You may need to do something like strpos() to find the beginning and ends of the word, and using eregi_replace() to replace the the spaces on either side of it with " <b>" and "</b> ". I have a killer headache right now, otherwise I'd write some code => Sorry!
