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.
Descrizione
Questa funzione restituisce una stringa od una matrice con tutte le occorrenze
di search in subject
(non distinguendo tra maiuscole e minuscole) sostituite con il valore replace
Se non occorrono particolari regole di sostituzione si dovrebbe utilizzare
questa funzione anziché eregi_replace() o
preg_replace() con il parametro i.
Se il parametro subject è una matrice, allora la ricerca
e la sostituzione viene eseguita su ogni elemento di
subject, ed il valore restituito è pure quello una
matrice.
Se search e
replace sono matrici, allora
str_ireplace() prende i valori da ciascuna matrice
e li utilizza per fare la ricerca e la sostituzione in
subject. Se
replace ha meno valori di
search, allora si utilizza una stringa vuota per sostituire
i valori mancanti. Se search
è una matrice e replace è una stringa; allora
questa stringa viene utilizzata per sostituire ogni valore di
search.
Example #1 Esempio di uso di str_ireplace()
<?php
$bodytag = str_ireplace("%body%", "black", "<body text=%BODY%>");
?>
Questa funzione è sicura con i dati binari.
Nota: Dal PHP 5.0.0 il numero dei testi trovati e sostituiti sarà restituito in
countche deve essere passato per riferimento. Prima del PHP 5.0.0 questo parametro non è disponibile.
Vedere anche: str_replace(), ereg_replace(), preg_replace() e strtr().
This functionality is now implemented in the PEAR package PHP_Compat.

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]
* @version 1.0
* @date 04/05/05
* @todo highlight SQL functions.

{
if( $query == '' ) return 0;

//[dv] this has to come first or you will have goofy results later.

$query = str_ireplace(

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 $haystack;
}
?>
This example uses HTML bold tags, but you can easily change the highlighting method.
FIX-ed problem with highlighting second 'o' OR 'a', in this string
<?php
function highlight_string ($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;
}
?>
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', $q);
}
?>
Regarding maintaining the case of the find/replace for search-highlighting purposes:
if the performance hit of a regular expression isn't a big problem, there's something like:
<?php
function highlight_matches($find_text, $text) {
return preg_replace("/($find_text)/i", '<span class="search_item">$1</span>', $text);
}
?>
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, $text);
?>
After searching through the forums and laboriously testing all the highlight functions (as I was too lazy to write my own, I wanted a quick solution), I found that none of them did what I wanted at all.
I just wanted a function that took a string and did not modify it in anyway, apart from just surrounding the matching words with some kind of highlighting HTML. At best all the ones of the forums here changed the text but also the case as well. The example given by sawdust *did* work except when given a single character when it continued to loop-replace the letter 'a' in the inserted 'background-color:'. So, here is a fool proof, no-nonsense replace method that should work always.
<?php
function highlight($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;
}
?>
