Filtering Common words

[kpugazh]

Hi,

 

I am doing a search program. For this I have to filter few words which are common. Sample, 'the', 'and', 'a', 'or' etc. I tried str_replace but didnt work fine as it replaced all a's in the string including the one within other words. I just want to filter these if it appears as complete word.

 

Any help please post.

 

Thanks

post your code you can do it using preg_replace...

[fert]

$text=str_replace(" a ","",$text);

[marcus]

Fert what if

 

$text = "A dog is a mans best friend";

 

Your code would return

 

A dog ismans best friend

here you go

 

$text=preg_replace("/\ba\b/i","",$text);
