You should check out preg_quote() function which puts a backslash in front
of characters (escapes them) that have a special meaning in regular
expressions.

Hi there,
I am highlighting keywords with the help of pregreplace. This works great
with one limitation. If the word that has to be replaced contains a slash,
preg throws an error. So far I could not find a fix. Can someone help?
Here is the code:
$pattern = "/\b($words)\b/is";
$replace = '<span
style="background:#FF0000;color:#FCCCCC;">\\1</span>';
return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str);
Thank you in advance,
Merlin
