Try preg_replace though. There are plenty of regular expression generators to help you get it just right.

lessthanthree Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 You could do it with a regex or you could do it with a simple str_replace()$data = str_replace(array("and", "AND"), "<a href......>", $text);if however the and might be mixed case you would want to look at regexes, which sadly I am rubbish at :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4391-str_replace-or/#findComment-15590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
