Hi there,

I am trying to mark words inside a sentence bold. Problem is, if there is an overlap it does not work anymore.
I am using this code: $t = str_replace($word, "<b>$word</b>", $text);


For eample:
Mark those words bold: adventure in singapore
Text: My adventure flying to singapore

The problem lays in the word "in". The code I use does produce following:
<b>s<b>in</b>gapore</b>
which of course does not work properly.

Does anybody have a good sugestion on how to improve this?`

use preg_replace('/\b'.preg_quote($word).'\b/', '<b>'.$word.'</b>', ..);

\b is word boundary
