str_getcsv
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;
}
?>
Description
This function returns a string or an array with all occurrences of search in subject (ignoring case) replaced with the given replace value. If you don't need fancy replacing rules, you should generally use this function instead of preg_replace() with the i modifier.
Parameters
- search
-
Note: Every replacement with search array is performed on the result of previous replacement.
- replace
-
- subject
-
If subject is an array, then the search and replace is performed with every entry of subject , and the return value is an array as well.
- count
-
The number of matched and replaced needles will be returned in count which is passed by reference.
If search and replace are arrays, then str_ireplace() takes a value from each array and uses them to do search and replace on subject . If replace has fewer values than search , then an empty string is used for the rest of replacement values. If search is an array and replace is a string, then this replacement string is used for every value of search .
Return Values
Returns a string or an array of replacements.

<?php
$bodytag = str_ireplace("%body%", "black", "<body text=%BODY%>");

Notes
Note: This function is binary-safe.

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

* @return void. prints HTML color coded string of the input $query.

* @author Daevid Vincent [daevid@LockdownNetworks.com]

If you want to do string highlighting, for example highlighting search terms, try str_highlight().
