Imad Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 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.

Imad Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yes, it will make it bold, I didn't bother giving it the highlight style since the highlighter script didn't work.

dezkit Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 $search = $_GET['search']; $replace = "<FONT style=\"BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow\">$search</FONT>"; $results = eregi_replace($search, $replace, $results); return $results; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/118113-search-result-highlighter/#findComment-607670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imad Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 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).
