note 19184 added to function.str-replace

dave's (dave@[nospam]netready.biz) solution for highlighting for non-case sensitive search results works great with the exception that it leads to the unwanted result of also highlighting html code if included with the $haystack. So if you have : $haystack = "I will break <b r> your heart"; (where <b r> should be the HTML line break) and as search string $needle = "br"; you get for: echo highlight ( $needle, $haystack ); // "I will break [hilited]br[/hilited] your heart" Simple solution (just for the sake of completeness , not a big deal): 1.) Remove ALL html or other formating code from $haystack 2.) Call highlight ( $needle, $haystack ); 3.) Replace $haystack with the highlighted version: $haystack = highlight ($needle, $haystack); 4.) Do the html or other text conversions like: $haystack = str_replace("/n", "<b r>", $haystack); 5.) echo $haystack; Thanks again, Dave. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19184 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19184 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19184
