Here is a simple function for highlighting a needle in text.
http://aidan.dotgeek.org/lib/?file=function.str_highlight.php
For example (the google method of highlighting):
<?php
$text = "Here is some text with a search term";
$needle = "search term";
echo str_highlight($text, $needle);
// Output: Here is some text with a <strong>search term</strong>
?>

Here is a simple function for highlighting a needle in text.
http://ircphp.com/users/imho/?file=function.str_highlight.php
For example (the google method of highlighting):
<?php
$text = "Here is some text with a search term";
$needle = "search term";
echo str_highlight($text, $needle);
// Output: Here is some text with a <strong>search term</strong>
?>
You may also change the text to be added:
<?php
echo str_highlight($text, $needle, '[start]', '[end]');
// Output: Here is some text with a [start]search term[end]
?>
Or, use it with an array of search terms:
<?php
$search = array('foo', 'bar');
$text = "Who is foo and who is bar?";
echo str_highlight($text, $search);
// Output: Who is <strong>foo</strong> and who is <strong>bar</strong>?
?>
Hope someone finds this useful.
