Thanks Zak, unfortunately the /g modifier doesn't appear to be supported and with the U modifier I get nothing where term2 should be bolded. I have sent a file with some 'real-life' sample text to Andrea, he is going to look at it, his last suggestion worked for him but not for me, he's using a PHP4 snapshot from late March and using PHP4B3. I'm going to build a PHP4RC1 binary now...

Hi Kev, I did a little test and encountered the same problem with g.. oh well. However, the s modifier should also do the trick. Here is a test that I did: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="PHP"> print $text = ' <b>Test 1</b> Test 1<BR> <b>Test 2</b> Test 2<BR> <b>Test 3 </b> Test 3<BR> <b>Test 4</b> Test 4<BR><BR> '; print preg_replace ("/<b>(.+)<\/b>/ieUs", "'<b><a href=search.php?query='.urlencode (trim ('\\1')).'>\\1</a></b>'", $text); </SCRIPT> It works with no complaints on php 4.0.0 Also, note the use of trim to stop pesky whitespace from being included in your search terms. Good Luck! Zak
