str_replace??

I have this code

PHP Code:


			
$highlightWords = explode(" ", $searchString);

$s = sizeof($highlightWords);

for($i=0;$i<=$s;$i++) {

$info = str_replace($highlightWords[i], "<span class=\"highlight\">$highlightWords[i]</span>", $info);

}

And it does not work. However If i just do

PHP Code:


			
$info = str_replace($highlightWords[0], "<span class=\"highlight\">$highlightWords[0]</span>", $info);

without the loop it seems to work.

My array contains a couple words that were entered into the search bar.

What i am doing with this code is searching a string and highlighting everywhere that a searched word appears.

any ideas?

You have a typing mistake, $highlightWords[i] should be $highlightWords[$i]

It is advisable to turn on full error reporting when writing code to catch simple little problems like this, using error_reporting(E_ALL)
