note 90472 added to function.str-ireplace

After trying each of the highlight scripts, but each was missing a part I required, so I made this. This one will search for a pattern, and return it in bold while retaining the capitalisation from the original string. <?php function highlight($needle, $haystack) { $first = str_ireplace($needle, '*', $haystack, $count); $second = $haystack; foreach (explode('*', $first) as $value) { $second = str_ireplace($value, '#', $second); } foreach (explode('#', $second) as $value) { if (!empty($value)) { $result = str_replace('*', '<strong>' . $value . '</strong>', $first); } } if ($count === 0) { return $haystack; } else { return $result; } } // Example usage echo highlight('amEs mOrR', 'James Morrison'); // J<strong>ames Morr</strong>ison ?> ---- Server IP: 87.124.35.190 Probable Submitter: 86.7.39.121 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-ireplace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90472 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90472 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90472 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
