Note for french people who wants to match "é", "ê"... For example, if you want to underline words "noël" or "noel" (notice the difference between "e" and "ë") in a text. Let say the text to be underlined is $search, the text you look into is $text <P> $myRegExp = $search; $myRegExp = eregi_replace("(e|é|è|ê|ë)", "(e|é|è|ê|ë)", $myRegExp); $myRegExp = eregi_replace("(a|à|â|ä|ã)", "(a|à|â|ä|ã)", $myRegExp); $myRegExp = eregi_replace("(o|ô|ö|õ)", "(o|ô|ö|õ)", $myRegExp); $resultString = eregi_replace("($myRegExp)", "<U>\\1</U>", $text); </P> Notice that even if the 2 first args of eregi seems to be the same ("(o|ô|ö|õ)", "(o|ô|ö|õ)"), the first one is ereg and the second is a string!... So if $search is "noel" or "noël" or "noél" or ..., all the words "noel" or "noël" or "noél" found in $text... will be underlined in the result string! I hope you'll understand my English!... If foreign users could merge this comment to add special chars, it could be nice... I think for example at the "ñ" that can be replaced by "n" for spannish users... Hope it will help you Dim
