eregi_replace seems not to deal with UTF8 chars !
I needed to utf8_decode / encode my string to parse it in eregi_replace :
<?php
$input = "string_from_utf8_form" ;
$output = utf8_encode(eregi_replace("(pattern)", "replacement", utf8_decode($input)) ;
echo $output ;
?>
I think UTF8 is not totally supported by PHP.
PHP - Manual: eregi_replace
2024-12-21
eregi_replace
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
eregi_replace — 不区分大小写的正则表达式替换
说明
eregi_replace
( string
$pattern
, string $replacement
, string $string
) : string本函数和 ereg_replace() 完全相同，只除了在匹配字母字符时忽略大小写的区别。
Example #1 高亮搜索结果
<?php
$pattern = '(>[^<]*)('. quotemeta($_GET['search']) .')';
$replacement = '\\1<span class="search">\\2</span>';
$body = eregi_replace($pattern, $replacement, $body);
?>
参见 ereg()，eregi() 和 ereg_replace()。

@bluedragonx at gmail dot com: Now you're calling two functions instead of one. I'm trully curious if that would still be faster.
My original post was just to highlight the need to escape characters that could be used to abuse a contact form. Something everyone should do, especially if doing it for a customer.
But bluedragonx, thanks for your input.

@bluedragonx: You're right. And i got the order of the params wrong as well, must've been sleepy when i wrote that note. For what it's worth:
<? $_POST['email'] = str_replace("[at]", "@", strtolower($_POST['email'])); ?>
Not similar to Carlos' code though, since it'll convert all characters to lowercase.

never mind my last post for the eregi_replace not replacing.
I just used str_replace instead and it works fine. I must have had something wrong with my search string. POSIX, Perl.. hmm.. yeah probably something there.

My apologies. I'm a PHP newbie and the count function didn't work right if you have more than one "keyword". I searched and spent a long time to get this to work right, so wanted to share it.
This is very easy to use by doing the following.
$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);
$the_count = 0;
$wordsArray = explode(' ', $words);
foreach($wordsArray as $word) {
if(strlen(trim($word)) != 0)
//exclude these words from being replaced
$exclude_list = array("word1", "word2", "word3");
// Check if it's excluded
if ( in_array( strtolower($word), $exclude_list ) ) {
} else {
$text = str_ireplace($word, "<span class=\"highlight\">".strtoupper($word)."</span>", $text, $count);
$the_count = $count + $the_count;
}
}
//added to show how many keywords were found
echo "<br><div class=\"emphasis\">A search for <strong>" . $words. "</strong> found <strong>" . $the_count . "</strong> matches within the " . $the_place. ".</div><br>";
return $text;
}
//example of how to use
$text_to_highlight = highlight_this($text_to_highlight, $search_text, "Place you searched");
?>

@carlos at braziland dot com: Hate to be a wisecrack, but i believe the following code might be slightly faster with the same result:
<?php
$_POST['email'] = str_replace("@", "[at]", $_POST['email']);
?>

So here is my answer to those who are trying to submit headers through my simple contact form:
$any_form_field = eregi_replace("@","[at]",$_POST['just_one_field']); //how can anyone send emails to other email addresses without the @ symbol :)
My suggestion is to do a foreach loop in the $_POST array and remove the @ symbol from all fields (unless you want one of the fields to have the @ symbol, in which case it should be very careful and question if the symbol is necessary).
Not the best solution, but it's simple and it works.

To obtain the an email addresse in the scheme user at host dot use following function
function antispam_mail($mail) {
return eregi_replace( "^([_\.0-9a-z-]+)@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+)\.([a-z]{2,6})$", '\\1 at \\2 dot \\3',$mail );
};
Combined with a wee JavaScript (document.location='mailto:'+user+'@'+host+'.'+tld) this provides a very powerfull anti-spam mechanism while providing full mailto: link functionality.

To find a string regardless of case, you might want to use the matched string in the replacement string without changing its case.
For example, you're searching for $search = "letter" and the text being searched is $text = "post lEtTeR". I want to change the format of the matched string.
Do this:
eregi_replace($search, "<b>\\0</b>", $text);
$text has now been changed to "post <b>lEtTeR</b>". \\0 is the entire text matched (lEtTer in this case).

The easiest function to replace this with is mb_eregi_replace(),
which is the mutibyte version that works on unicode characters such as chinese letters in your strings.

related to the private at sfiac dot net function,
please note that you can add a dot in the

"("[-a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+/=?^_`{|}~]+@([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*",".
"$e,$c);
having it to find email address like user.name@test.com

If you have plain text e-mails and links but need to make them real links
<?
function replaceLinks($text) {
// convert support@pogoda.in into
// <a href="mailto:support@pogoda.in">
// support@pogoda.in</a>
$text = ereg_replace('[-a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+/=?^_`{|}~]+@([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*',
'<a href="mailto:\\0">\\0</a>',$text);
// convert http://www.pogoda.in/new_york/eng/ into
// <a href="http://pogoda.in/new_york/eng/">
// pogoda.in/new_york/eng/</a>
$text = ereg_replace('[a-zA-Z]+://(([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)',
'<a href="\\0">\\1</a>',$text);
// convert www.pogoda.in/new_york/eng/ into

$text = ereg_replace('(^| )(www([-]*[.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?&%])*)',

return $text;

Here's a nice case-insensitive highlight function that ignores any regular expression characters and highlights a word and leaves it in whatever case it was before:
<?
function highlight($word, $subject) {
$regex_chars = '\.+?(){}[]^$';
for ($i=0; $i<strlen($regex_chars); $i++) {
$char = substr($regex_chars, $i, 1);
$word = str_replace($char, '\\'.$char, $word);
}
$word = '(.*)('.$word.')(.*)';
return eregi_replace($word, '\1<span class="highlight">\2</span>\3', $subject);
}
?>

Actually that wouldn't work because str_replace is case sensitive. So any instances of [AT] [aT] or [At] would be ignored.

PHP's Regex engine differs from several others in its treatment of parsing spaces.
In many Regex languages '\s' denotes a space.
PHP does not recognize '\s', just type a space ' ' instead.
This simple example illustrates the problem:
<?php
$string = "A sentence with spaces";
if (eregi("with\s*spaces", $string))
{
// Will never print
echo "PHP understood \s";
}
else
{
// Will always print
echo "PHP doesn't understand \s";
}
?>
This example does work:
<?php
$string = "A sentence with spaces";
if (eregi("with *spaces", $string))
{
// Will print
echo "PHP understood ' '";
}
?>

This is a 'faster' way to highlight search results:

}
Usage example:
<a href="<?=despamMailURI("user@foo.bar")?>">Mail me</a>

I modified the script from the note below this one so that you could show how many matches were found. I know this should probably be posted in the str_ireplace() area, so I will post it there afterwards.
$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;
}
?>

Your remove links functions are incorrect if there are a php var in the URL, we have to add '?' character inside our pattern, I have three this function working correctly with php vars:
function transformUrl($str){
$str=utf8_decode(urldecode($str));
$str=eregi_replace("(^| |>)(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?])[^<]*)", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\">Look link</a>", $str);
$str=eregi_replace("(^| |>)(http://www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?])[^<]*)", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\">Look link</a>", $str);
$str=eregi_replace("(^| |>)(http://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-?])[^<]*)", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\">Look link</a>", $str);
return utf8_encode($str);

To simply convert wild input into a sensable sting, say for a filename I use:
function cleanString($wild) {
return ereg_replace("[^[:alnum:]+]","",$wild);
}
echo cleanString("@#$&*$@#H~e'{}l{}l<o\{}"); // outputs: Hello

I have found that some characters cannot be used by eregi_replace (or ereg_replace). When you get the REG_BADRPT error, try backslashing any special chars in your pattern string
ex.
$str = eregi_replace("*", "", $somevar)
gives the REG_BADRPT error. Change it to
$str = eregi_replace("\*", "", $somevar)
to make it work

$HTMLstring = 'A link to <a href="http://www.php.net">PHP.net</A>';
echo AHREF2text($HTMLstring);
// prints: A link to [PHP.net] (link: http://www.php.net)

Nice way to highlight that what someone search.
For example is some one search for "Wire Mobile 6"
It will highlight every word separated even if found "Wire Xp and some mobile stuff"
© and ® are importiant, because without special signs, string in second turn will convert also <span class="searchtext">
which will be already in text.
<?
$searchcolor = explode(' ',$search);
$ilosc = count($searchcolor);
$ilosc2 = "0";
while ($ilosc2 != $ilosc ) {
$name = eregi_replace ($searchcolor[$ilosc2],'©'.$searchcolor[$ilosc2].'®',$name);
$ilosc2++;
}
$name = str_replace('©','<span class="searchtext">',$name);
$name = str_replace('®','</span>',$name);
echo $name;
?>

Hi everyone.
I saw a lot of highlighting functions, but no one was simple... maybe I missed a part of discussion ?
Anyway, I think this function is the easiest:
<?php
function highlight($text, $words) {
$words = trim($words);
$wordsArray = explode(' ', $words);
foreach($wordsArray as $word) {
if(strlen(trim($word)) != 0)
$text = eregi_replace($word, '<span class="highlight">\\0</span>', $text);
}
return $text;
}
?>
