After searching through the forums and laboriously testing all the highlight functions (as I was too lazy to write my own, I wanted a quick solution), I found that none of them did what I wanted at all.
I just wanted a function that took a string and did not modify it in anyway, apart from just surrounding the matching words with some kind of highlighting HTML. At best all the ones of the forums here changed the text but also the case as well. The example given by sawdust *did* work except when given a single character when it continued to loop-replace the letter 'a' in the inserted 'background-color:'. So, here is a fool proof, no-nonsense replace method that should work always.
<?php
function highlight($haystack, $needle) {
if (strlen($haystack) < 1 || strlen($needle) < 1) {return $haystack;}
preg_match_all("/$needle+/i", $haystack, $match);
$exploded = preg_split("/$needle+/i",$haystack);
$replaced = "";
foreach($exploded as $e)
foreach($match as $m)
if($e!=$exploded[count($exploded)-1]) {$replaced .= $e . "<font style=\"background-color:yellow\">" . $m[0] . "</font>";} else {$replaced .= $e;}
return $replaced;
}
?>
説明
この関数は、subject の中に現れるすべての
search(大文字小文字を区別しない)を
replace に置き換えた文字列あるいは配列を返します。
一般に、凝った置換ルールが必要ないのであれば、
preg_replace() で i
修正子を使用するかわりにこの関数を使用すべきです。
パラメータ
search および
replace が配列の場合は、
str_ireplace() はそれぞれの配列から取り出した
値を使用して subject の置換を行います。
replace の要素数が
search より少ない場合は、残りの要素は
空の文字列に置き換えられます。もし search
が配列で replace が文字列だった場合は
すべての search が同じ文字列に置き換えられます。
しかし、逆は意味がありません。
search あるいは replace
が配列の場合は、配列の最初の要素から順に処理されます。
-
search -
探したい値。needle (針) と呼ばれることもあります。 配列を使えば、複数の値を指定することもできます。
-
replace -
見つかった
searchを置き換える値。 配列を使えば、複数の値を指定することもできます。 -
subject -
検索・置換の対象となる文字列あるいは配列。 haystack (干し草の山) と呼ばれることもあります。
subjectが配列の場合は、そのすべての要素に 対して検索と置換が行われ、返される結果も配列となります。 -
count -
指定した場合は、マッチして置換が行われた箇所の個数がここに格納されます。
返り値
置換した文字列あるいは配列を返します。

例
例1 str_ireplace() の例
<?php
$bodytag = str_ireplace("%body%", "black", "<body text=%BODY%>");
?>
注意
注意: この関数はバイナリデータに対応しています。
置換の順番に関するメモ
str_ireplace() は左から右へと置換を行うので、 複数の置換を行うときには、前に追加された値を置換する可能性もあります。 str_replace() のドキュメントにある 2 番目の例が、これが及ぼす影響の実例です。

For highlighting without the overhead of regex and without destroying capitalization, try this:
<?php
function highlight($needle, $haystack){
$ind = stripos($haystack, $needle);
$len = strlen($needle);
if($ind !== false){
return substr($haystack, 0, $ind) . "<b>" . substr($haystack, $ind, $len) . "</b>" .
highlight($needle, substr($haystack, $ind + $len));
} else return $haystack;
}
?>
This example uses HTML bold tags, but you can easily change the highlighting method.
Warning with highlighting ...
I used :
<?php
$text = preg_replace('/('.$q.')/i','<span class=highlighting "">$1</span>' , $text);
?>
Because this line do not allow to highlight uppercase and lowercase correctly (transform uppercase to lowercase for exemple)
<?php
$text = str_ireplace( $q , '<span class=highlighting "">'.$q.'</span>', $text);
?>
But when $q contain some regex you have some problems ... for exemple :
<?php $q = '('; ?>
So you must use preg_replace to highlight correctly the text and you must create a function for escape bad regex caracters !
I think that a better function can be found but this works I guess :
<?php
function regex_escape( $q )
{
return preg_replace('/([\[\]\(\)\{\}\-\.\*\?\|\^\$])/', '\$1', $q);
}
?>
FIX-ed problem with highlighting second 'o' OR 'a', in this string
<?php
function highlight_string ($haystack, $needle, $highlight_class) {
// return $haystack if there is no highlight color or strings given, nothing to do.
$first_encode='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'; //ENCODE string
$second_encode='YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY';
preg_match_all("/$needle+/i", $haystack, $matches);
if (is_array($matches[0]) && count($matches[0]) >= 1) {
foreach ($matches[0] as $match) {
$haystack = str_replace($match, $first_encode.$match.$second_encode, $haystack);
}
}
$haystack=str_replace(array($first_encode,$second_encode),
array('<font class="'.$highlight_class.'" >','</font>'),$haystack);
return $haystack;
}
?>
Regarding maintaining the case of the find/replace for search-highlighting purposes:
if the performance hit of a regular expression isn't a big problem, there's something like:
<?php
function highlight_matches($find_text, $text) {
return preg_replace("/($find_text)/i", '<span class="search_item">$1</span>', $text);
}
?>
If you want to keep the original capitalization when replacing some text (e.g. for highlighting the search-string in the the search result), you can use this code I wrote:
<?php
// http://devboard.viathinksoft.de/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=771
// Bugfix-Release #3 (June, 22th 2009)
function ext_str_ireplace($findme, $replacewith, $subject)
{
// Replaces $findme in $subject with $replacewith
// Ignores the case and do keep the original capitalization by using $1 in $replacewith
// Required: PHP 5
$rest = $subject;
$result = '';
while (stripos($rest, $findme) !== false) {
$pos = stripos($rest, $findme);
// Remove the wanted string from $rest and append it to $result
$result .= substr($rest, 0, $pos);
$rest = substr($rest, $pos, strlen($rest)-$pos);
// Remove the wanted string from $rest and place it correctly into $result
$result .= str_replace('$1', substr($rest, 0, strlen($findme)), $replacewith);
$rest = substr($rest, strlen($findme), strlen($rest)-strlen($findme));
}
// After the last match, append the rest
$result .= $rest;
return $result;
}
?>
For function work with cirilic
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'ru_RU');
Here's a different approach to search result keyword highlighting that will match all keyword sub strings in a case insensitive manner and preserve case in the returned text. This solution first grabs all matches within $haystack in a case insensitive manner, and the secondly loops through each of those matched sub strings and applies a case sensitive replace in $haystack. This way each unique (in terms of case) instance of $needle is operated on individually allowing a case sensitive replace to be done in order to preserve the original case of each unique instance of $needle.
<?php
function highlightStr($haystack, $needle, $highlightColorValue) {
// return $haystack if there is no highlight color or strings given, nothing to do.
if (strlen($highlightColorValue) < 1 || strlen($haystack) < 1 || strlen($needle) < 1) {
return $haystack;
}
preg_match_all("/$needle+/i", $haystack, $matches);
if (is_array($matches[0]) && count($matches[0]) >= 1) {
foreach ($matches[0] as $match) {
$haystack = str_replace($match, '<span style="background-color:'.$highlightColorValue.';">'.$match.'</span>', $haystack);
}
}
return $haystack;
}
?>
This function will highlight search terms (Key Words in Context).
The difference between this one and the ones below is that it will preserve the original case of the search term as well. So, if you search for "american" but in the original string it is "American" it will retain the capital "A" as well as the correct case for the rest of the string.
<?php
function kwic($str1,$str2) {
$kwicLen = strlen($str1);
$kwicArray = array();
$pos = 0;
$count = 0;
while($pos !== FALSE) {
$pos = stripos($str2,$str1,$pos);
if($pos !== FALSE) {
$kwicArray[$count]['kwic'] = substr($str2,$pos,$kwicLen);
$kwicArray[$count++]['pos'] = $pos;
$pos++;
}
}
for($I=count($kwicArray)-1;$I>=0;$I--) {
$kwic = '<span class="kwic">'.$kwicArray[$I]['kwic'].'</span>';
$str2 = substr_replace($str2,$kwic,$kwicArray[$I]['pos'],$kwicLen);
}
return($str2);
}
?>
Example for str_ireplace(). It will print "RePlaCeMe" in red color, but after this, it would be written in lower case because of the string $search.
<?php
$search = 'replaceme';
$replace = '<font color="#FF0000">'.$search.'</font>';
$text = 'Please RePlaCeMe, OK?';
echo str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
?>
Example for ext_str_ireplace(). It will print "RePlaCeMe" in red color, and will not change the capitalization:
<?php
$search = 'replaceme';
$replace = '<font color="#FF0000">$1</font>';
$text = 'Please RePlaCeMe, OK?';
echo ext_str_ireplace($search, $replace, $text);
?>
I modified a script from notes on the eregi_replace() function page. This is a highlight script that worked good for me.
$text - is the text to search
$words - are the words to highlight (search text)
$the_place - is so that you can tell your users what "area" was searched.
<?php
function highlight_this($text, $words, $the_place) {
$words = trim($words);
$wordsArray = explode(' ', $words);
foreach($wordsArray as $word) {
if(strlen(trim($word)) != 0)
$text = str_ireplace($word, "<span class=\"highlight\">".strtoupper($word)."</span>", $text, $count);
}
//added to show how many keywords were found
echo "<br><div class=\"emphasis\">A search for <strong>" . $words. "</strong> found <strong>" . $count . "</strong> matches within the " . $the_place. ".</div><br>";
//end script modification
return $text;
}
?>
Here are some minor tweaks to-n00b-at-battleofthebits-dot-org's excellent function.
1) The token was set to an ASCII value 1 (which could be changed as was previously noted)
2) The $c++ was not needed
3) The while statement is not necessary for the final replacement
4) Note that this does not allow use of arrays for search and replace terms. That could be implemented using loops.
<?php
if(!function_exists('str_ireplace')){
function str_ireplace($search,$replace,$subject){
$token = chr(1);
$haystack = strtolower($subject);
$needle = strtolower($search);
while (($pos=strpos($haystack,$needle))!==FALSE){
$subject = substr_replace($subject,$token,$pos,strlen($search));
$haystack = substr_replace($haystack,$token,$pos,strlen($search));
}
$subject = str_replace($token,$replace,$subject);
return $subject;
}
}
?>
Note that character case is being defined by your server's locale setting, which effects strings containing non-ASCII characters.
See strtolower() - http://www.php.net/strtolower and comments - internally str_ireplace converts $search and $replace to lowercase to find matches.
here's a neat little function I whipped up to do HTML color coding of SQL strings.
<?php
/**
* Output the HTML debugging string in color coded glory for a sql query
* This is very nice for being able to see many SQL queries
* @access public
* @return void. prints HTML color coded string of the input $query.
* @param string $query The SQL query to be executed.
* @author Daevid Vincent [daevid@LockdownNetworks.com]

* @date 04/05/05
* @todo highlight SQL functions.
*/
function SQL_DEBUG( $query )
{
if( $query == '' ) return 0;
global $SQL_INT;
if( !isset($SQL_INT) ) $SQL_INT = 0;
//[dv] this has to come first or you will have goofy results later.
$query = preg_replace("/['\"]([^'\"]*)['\"]/i", "'<FONT COLOR='#FF6600'>$1</FONT>'", $query, -1);
$query = str_ireplace(
array (
