There's a number of functions in PHP that will give me the position of
the *first* instance of the matched string, but it doesn't look like the
function would keep searching after the first match.  Anyway, am I
overlooking a function that already has the functionality that I'm
searching for?  Or does anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this
efficiently since my search strings can be quite long?


try this

preg_replace('/(weather)/i', "<strong>$1</strong>", 'This is the worst
weather ever.  Weather around
here is terrible. ')

Thanks Matt. I think that will do the trick. Let me see if I understand it correctly. the "i" will make the search case-INsensitive, and the parenthesis around "weather" will store what it finds in the variable $1? Is that right?


Thanks again, that was a big help.
