Very bad idea. for example ( using bold to highlight ): <?pseudo_code $html = "<html><body>I want to hightlight the word body in this text. </body></html>"; $search = "body"; $output = str_replace($search, "<b>$search</b>", $html); // $output == "<html><<b>body</b>>I want to hightlight the word <b>body</b> in this text. </<b>body</b>></html>"; // see what I mean? ?> > > - David > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
