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

In addition, you might consider moving your style attributes to a
style sheet and then using a class name like so:
$replace = '<span class="highlight">\\1</span>';
That way you can change highlighting as you want without altering your code.
Cheers,
