I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you telling us to give you the code to do this?

[kalster]

Yes, I am asking for help. code, url, ect.

Not a php question most likely.  Sounds like an html one.  If I were trying to highlight a part of a string being output I would wrap that part in a span tag and set a style for it.

Also, this isn't a free code forum. its a php help forum. If you need help with some code you are writing, then this place is perfect for you. However, if you want someone to give you code, there are plenty of forums for hiring freelance developers out there. I think there is even a subforum for that here.

Are you looking to create a keyword highlighter like you find in search engines? If so, you could look into using something like str_ireplace(). More information can be found here:

Note that there's an example keyword highlighter in the user-contributed notes here
