[PHP] php regexp question

2003-03-25 Thread cpaul



hi

i've made a small php site that is searching against french documents stored
in a mysql database.

when it comes to rendering search results, the client has asked if the words 
that were searched for can be highlighted.  

no problem! i thought.  just do a regexp replace and wrap a b tag around
the matching terms.  then i realised that the following would not produce
a match:

  $string = Françoise;
  echo preg_match(/francoise/i,$string);

so my question since mysql managed to produce a match here, is there
perhaps a php regexp modifier that (maybe) knows how to make this match?



thanks

Just an idea:
In $string replace any occurence of ç to c, search for offsets of 
francoise, and then add bold tags at the offsets (and end tags at 
offsets +strlen('francoise')) in the original string.
