Hi Andy,
In answer to part two - here's a snippet of code I use to highlight relevant
words in red - hope it helps to put you on the right track.
for ($i=0; $i < count($keywords); $i++) {
$blurb = eregi_replace(" ".$keywords[$i]." ", " <font
color=\"#FF0000\">".$keywords[$i]."</font> ", $blurb);
}
where $keywords is an array containing all the words searched for and $blurb
is the snippet that is returned with the search results At this stage in the
flow, I've already retrieved relevant records - this is in fact the last
step before I format and display the results..
Hope this helps
stuart
