Search result highlighter

[Imad]

Hi guys, I need help with a search highlighter I'm making.

 

Here's some code I found while searching in Google:

 

$search = $_GET['search'];
$replace = "<b>$search</b>";
$results = eregi_replace($search, $replace, $results);
return $results;

 

It didn't highlight anything and didn't work. Any ideas on how I can make one? All results are taken from a database using a search system I made.

Best Regards.

That will make it bold not highlight it , i dunno if there is anything wrong with the code.

Yes, it will make it bold, I didn't bother giving it the highlight style since the highlighter script didn't work.

so it isnt making it bold?

$search = $_GET['search'];
$replace = "<FONT style=\"BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow\">$search</FONT>";
$results = eregi_replace($search, $replace, $results);
return $results;

The styling isn't the problem, I know how to do that. The problem is the text highlighter, it doesn't make the searched font bold (as shown in original post).

are you searching from a database?
