Hi there,

I am highlighting keywords with the help of pregreplace. This works great with one limitation. If the word that has to be replaced contains a slash, preg throws an error. So far I could not find a fix. Can someone help?

Here is the code:

        
    $pattern = "/\b($words)\b/is";
    $replace = '<span style="background:#FF0000;color:#FCCCCC;">\\1</span>';
    return preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$str);

Thank you in advance,

Merlin

Well, a slash has a special meaning inside PHP strings, more so for
double quoted strings. Are you correctly escaping the slash as a double
slash so that it's not interpreted by the string as an escaped
character, as you will need to as the preg_replace will be interpreting
it as an escape sequence to match?

Thanks,
Ash

HI, replacing the delimiter slash by ~ solved the problem. Thank you
