Highlight Search Terms

[web_assist_mail157665]

Any thoughts on how to do this on the text search results

I see $_SESSION['WADbSearch1_search'] holds the search where clause
ie OR (((text_art LIKE '%Luton%')) OR ((text_art LIKE '%Partnership%')))

My page content recordset displays text that contains these terms and would appreciate any thoughts on matching these in PHP

ie

IF ARTICLE_TEXT = ONE OF THESE WORDS IN THE SESSION VAR, THEN SURROUND ARTICLE TEXT WITH SPAN HIGHLIGHT

While ignoring any HTML tags

We don't offer a solution for this.

Basically you would want to isolate the search terms into an array.

Then write a function that probably takes the search term array and the starting text as an argument and returns the text with the added spans.

Then you would use a regular expression match while looping through the array to do the replacement. Since you only pass in the content, there are no html tags to ignore, but you could use a regular expression to remove tags first before doing replacements if necessary as well.
