Str Replace despite capitalization

[zfred09]

How would I replace a string despite capitalization? Say I have this code.

$searchterm = "cool";
$text = "Hi, my names Cool.";

$newtext = str_replace("$searchterm", "<FONT style=\"BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow\">$searchterm</FONT>", "$text");

echo $newtext;

Try this:

 

$newtext = preg_replace("|$searchterm|i", "<FONT style=\"BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow\">$searchterm</FONT>", "$text");

 

Changes are:

 

1.  str_replace => preg_replace

2.  "$searchterm" => "|$searchterm|i"

 

The "i" means "case-insensitive", which is the change you wanted to make.  If I had written "|$searchterm|", it would act exactly like str_replace.
