case insensitive highlighting in php

Question

i\'m using this function to highlight the results from mysql query:

 function highlightWords($string, $word)
 {

        $string = str_replace($word, \"

        

Answer 1

Use str_ireplace() instead.

EDIT: Here is regexp version that keeps original case:

$string = preg_replace("/".preg_quote($word, "/")."/i", "$0", $string);
