Yes it is posible using the preg_replace substituing the text with </b>the text</b> or to what ever you want.
If you are not advanced in php you could do it with substr_replace() function. The first solution is more dificult to be used but you have the advantage you can search for each word used in the %search_words% and highlight them even if they are not positioned in the same order in the text searched. (But in this case you have to use the MySQL 'match against' with the full text indexing in place of like). The result is something like this: http://www.interakt.ro/search.php. Try searching 'mysql adodb' If this is what you want I can help you with a code block -- ------------------------------------------------- Cristian MARIN - Developer InterAKT Online (www.interakt.ro) Tel: +4021 312.53.12 Tel/Fax: +4021 312.51.91 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Nabil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dear all, > > 1- I have a form with an input text : keyword > 2- the field address is in my MySQL as TEXT field. > 3- I select * from db where address like '%keyword%' > 4- I want when echo the return $row["address"] to highlight the entered > keyword (that the user has entered in the search form) in the output with a > different font backcolor or by just another color... to let the user see > what he was searching for > 5- and if it possible to echo how accurate (percentage) the return rows has > fit his search... > > Please Advise how to do it... > > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
