[ibzi]

Let's say I have a paragraph of text.


"This forum is phpfreaks.com and the person posting this message goes by the Username of ibzi. This is just a paragraph to show an example to the fellow helpers."

Now lets say I want to replace all the occurence of the word "and" regardless about the case. It can be And or AND or aND etc.

How would i do this? I want to replace it with something like:

and >>>>>> <a target="_blank" href="search.php?q=and">and</a>

I tried preg_match but I dont know how to use the function, i constantly get wrong result near the "_blank".

Please help.. it will be appreciated.

Something like this -

PHP Code:

<?php

$source = "This forum is phpfreaks.com and the person posting this message goes by the Username of ibzi And AND anD aNd ANd aND AnD. This is just a paragraph to show an example to the fellow helpers.";



$searchfor = "and";



$replacewith = "<a target='_blank' href='search.php?q=$searchfor'>$searchfor</a>";



$replaced = str_ireplace($searchfor, $replacewith, $source);



echo "$source<br><br>";

echo "$replaced<br>";

?>

Thanks for the reply however I dont have the str_ireplace function. I've got a older PHP version is installed.

This works as well -

PHP Code:

$replaced = eregi_replace($searchfor, $replacewith, $source);
