highlighting in PHP

[citpes]

Thanx again Zap. How long you been proggin in PHP? Your advice has been great!
I almost got this thing finsihed!! :king:

[Zap]

I think, since the summer before last summer. That would be almost 2 years. But it doesn't really matter how long you've been programming in a language, but rather how much. And I've done it quite often

lemme give it a shot...

eh... what?

Cool

[seph]

now try this:

http://forum.blissdev.com/test1.html

the source for test3.php is:

Code:

<?php
if (!file_exists($_POST['openedfile'])) die('File does not exist.');

$openedfile = implode("",file($_POST['openedfile']));

$openedfile = str_replace($_POST['findword'], "<font class='highlighted'>".$_POST['findword']."</font>", $openedfile);

echo "<style type='text/css'>\r\n<!--\r\n";
echo ".highlighted {background-color: #FFFF00; color: #000000;}";
echo "\r\n</style>\r\n";
echo $openedfile;
?>

i admit it could be shoirter by getting rid of some echoes but i did it this way cuz its easiest for you to impliment

[seph]

i just found out it also highlights your word if is inside a tag (if you type "br" for example) if thats a problem for yo i can make it so that doesnt happen?

[seph]

also if you want it to be case-insensitive, do what he said and change str_replace to the ne wstr_ireplace.
