Re: [PHP] Case issue with eregi_replace in text highlight function
Here is the function:
function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
return eregi_replace($highlight, span class=highlight . $highlight .
/span, $text);
}
In this case, if the text to highglight is:
MacOS X Super Gizmo
And a client searches for the string macos, the result will be:
span class=highlightmacos/span X Super Gizmo
You're using the eregi_replace function - which does case insensitive
replaces (read the man page).
Change it to use
ereg_replace

RE: [PHP] Case issue with eregi_replace in text highlight function
That's not where the issue is.
Eregi_replace conducts a case insensitive SEARCH but how the REPLACE
operates has nothing to do with it.
If you use ereg_replace, then it is most obviously not going to replace
MacOS with span class=highlightmacos/span or even span
class=highlightMacOS/span, because the string searched for is of a
different case.
But thanks for helping.

Good point, I had it around the wrong way.
function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
return eregi_replace($highlight, span class=highlight . $highlight
. /span, $text);
}
So where does 'highlight' come from when you pass it in ?

RE: [PHP] Case issue with eregi_replace in text highlight function
How about
function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
return preg_replace('/(' . $highlight . ')/i', 'span
class=highlight$1/span', $text);
}
Case should be retained and the search is case insensitive
