Hi there,
I am highlighting keywords with the help of pregreplace. This works
great with one limitation. If the word that has to be replaced contains
a slash, preg throws an error. So far I could not find a fix. Can
someone help?
Here is the code:
$pattern = "/\b($words)\b/is";
$replace = '<span style="background:#FF0000;color:#FCCCCC;">\\1</span>';
return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str);
Thank you in advance,
Merlin
Well, a slash has a special meaning inside PHP strings, more so for
double quoted strings. Are you correctly escaping the slash as a double
slash so that it's not interpreted by the string as an escaped
character, as you will need to as the preg_replace will be interpreting
it as an escape sequence to match?
Thanks,
Ash

HI, replacing the delimiter slash by ~ solved the problem. Thank you
