Here the $result is changed to '<b>te</b>st' on the first search.
Obviously on the second replace the term will not be found anymore!
yes, it's obvious.
like i said:
output: this is just a <b>te</b>st
(after the first term is highlighted the second one can't be found anymore.)
but how to work around it??

hi, i'm working on a function that highlights search results. problem: a search input like "te est"; two terms that match one word ("test"). the mysql query matches entries like this but my function isn't able to highlight them the right way:
<?
function highlight($src_terms, $src_terms_int, $result) {
$i = 0;
while ($i < $src_terms_int) {
$result = preg_replace('/('.$src_terms[$i].')/si', '<b>'.$src_terms[$i].'</b>', $result);
$i++;
}
return $result;
}
$search = "te est"; // user input to search for $src_terms = explode(" ", $search); $src_terms_int = count($src_terms);
$result = "this is just a test"; // result from database
print highlight($src_terms, $src_terms_int, $result); ?>
output: this is just a <b>te</b>st
(after the first term is highlighted the second one can't be found anymore.)
someone has an idea how to work around this?
thanks for your effort! jonas
