RE: [PHP] Replacing non exact strings

[Brian Paulson]

Julio,

Try this 

$search = Joe Doe;
$original = Joe Cougar Doe;
$final = bJoe/b Cougar bDoe/b;

$terms = explode( ,$search);
for($i=0; $icount($terms); $i++)
{
$original = eregi_replace($terms[$i], b.$terms[$i]./b,
$original);
}
echo $original;

Should get you started.

Thank You

Subject: [PHP] Replacing non exact strings


  Hi List,

  Imagine a form where user can search for clients using a 'name' field.
When submitted, there's a result page, linking results to another page
with
the client information.

  I need to make the terms inputted at the form bold when they appear at
the
client information page. Problem is: When someone searchs for Joe Doe,
and
the client's name is Joe Doe, I can make it bJoe Doe/b.

  But when the name is Joe Cougar Doe, I can't bold it (parts Joe 
Doe)
because there's this Cougar in the middle. The result I am looking for
is
bJoe/b Cougar bDoe/b.

  So:

$searched = Joe Doe;
$original = Joe Cougar Doe;
$final = bJoe/b Cougar bDoe/b;

  Any ideas about how can I achieve this result? I am currently using
eregi_replace($searched, b$searched/b, $original), so that's why
it
only accepts the whole string.

  Thanks a lot,

Julio Nobrega.

Split $searched using explode, then do the replace on each element of the resulting 
array...

$searched = Joe Doe;
$original = Joe Cougar Doe;

$searchedwords = explode( , $searched);
$final = $original;
foreach ($searchedwords as $word)
{
$final = eregi_replace($word, b$word/b, $final);
}

$final = bJoe/b Cougar bDoe/b;
