Im sorry im really off today, but whats the code (i think theres one) where it highlights a certain text in the page. Its used for search results.

Umm it could probably be done with JS a bit better, since it would look at the entire parsed page, but you could use

[code=php:0]
<style type="test/css">
.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
}
</style>

<?
$rep = $_GET['highlight'];
//lets pretend some how the entire contents of the page are $contents
str_replace($rep, "<font class='hightlight'>{$rep}</font>", $contents);
?>

[/code]

That script assumed that the entire contents of the page is in $contents, and it would create problems if a user chose to high light something like < cause then it would make it <font class='highlight'><</font> which wouldnt be a problem unless it changed something like <img src="image.jpg"> into <font class='highlight'><</font> src=...

You could probably use regexps to make sure it wasnt in an html tag... Anyways, someone will probably post with a better answer than mine, but I tried :p.

?I took that into consideration before, but i realized before i post that I thought there was another method.

You have to use some kind of function to accomplish this.  Check out this post -

Ummm thats basically the same as mine except in a function :p.

Also, your script would have the same problem as mine...

that worked, but i modified it so it replaces the < > and checks to see it theres still any thing to high light, and thorpe, thats what I was thinking of at first
