note 49543 added to function.preg-replace

Quik way to highlight whole word: <? preg_replace( "/(^|[^\w]){1}(".preg_quote($search,"/").")($|[^\w]){1}/i", "\\1<span class='highlight'>\\2</span>\\3", $string); ?> In some locales may not work so better way is to change \w to class of literals. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49543 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49543&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49543&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49543&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49543&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49543&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49543&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
