Need help with strings

Anon

I have a string which contains a rather long text ($text). I also have the string $replace, containing "music" (all in small letters).

I want to replace all $replace in the $text string. This could be done with str_replace.

str_replace($replace,"<B>$replace</B>",$text);

Or something like that. But on some places in $text "music" may have an uppercase first letter. Or maybe even an uppercase second letter. I would like it to be changed.

That is, I want all "music" (not depending on upper or lower cases) in the $text string to get "<B>" in front of them and "</B>" behind them.

Can anyone help me with this?

Have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php.

This may help you.

$text = eregi_replace(($replace),"\"\"\1\"\",$text);

That should do it for you

Well. I have been there. But I don't think it helped much. Do you know somewhere else where I can read about it, which is more helpful?

It didn't work :/

I'm sorry, I've been looking in the PHP function manual, but I still don't understand how to use ereg_replace and eregi_replace 🙁
