need help for highlighted keyword search result

this is my function

PHP Code:


		
			
function highlight($result,$search)

{ 

$keywords = split(" ",$search);

for ($i=0; $i<count($keywords ); $i++) {

$replace = $keywords[$i];

if ($replace!='')

$result = eregi_replace($keywords[$i],'<span class="z">'.$replace.'</span>', $result);

};  

return $result;  

}

If $result=class is the best classes at z
and $search is=class c z
the output should highlight the class z and c

the problem is it has embedded code in it.say for example
classclass="z"> is the best classclass="z"> and cclass="z">
how would i get rid of that

Hi meshi,

Perhaps you could reword your question and make it a little clearer, it's a bit confusing at the moment :)

Cheers.
