preg_replace(array_map(function($arg) { return '/\b'. preg_quote($arg) . '\b/';
}, $killarray), ' ', makeutf8($prodname));
That uses closures so requires PHP 5.3. If you can't use that, move the
function elsewhere, give it a name and pass that name as a string to
array_map().
What this is doing is using the word boundary class to only match complete
words. array_map() just loops over the given array, applies the given function
to each item and returns all the return values in an array.
