This took a few hours of my life. If you want to replace a string in a chunk of text WITHOUT
replacing it in the html tags use the following: (i used this for a search engine to search a news
database which includes html)
<?php
preg_replace("'(?!<.*?)$string(?![^<>]*?>)'si",
"REPLACED", $chunk);
?>
