Note Submitter: dave@[nospam]netready.biz ---- Here's my implementation of the stri_replace function. I didn't like firewire's version because it used recursion, I think this is probably faster... function stri_replace( $find, $replace, $string ) { $parts = explode( strtolower($find), strtolower($string) ); $pos = 0; foreach( $parts as $key=>$part ){ $parts[ $key ] = substr($string, $pos, strlen($part)); $pos += strlen($part) + strlen($find); } return( join( $replace, $parts ) ); } Below is a similar function which highlights a particular part of a string (I needed this to highlight non-case sensitive search results for display). The clever part is that when it highlights it keeps the proper case of the string. (Modify the HTML part for your preferred highlight settings!) function highlight( $needle, $haystack ) { $parts = explode( strtolower($needle), strtolower($haystack) ); $pos = 0; foreach( $parts as $key=>$part ){ $parts[ $key ] = substr($haystack, $pos, strlen($part)); $pos += strlen($part); $parts[ $key ] .= '<FONT COLOR="#009000"><B>'.substr($haystack, $pos, strlen($needle)).'</B></FONT>'; $pos += strlen($needle); } return( join( '', $parts ) ); }
