Highlight text

[03laceys]

Ok so i am highlighting the text in explore using...

 

function highlightWords($string, $words)
{
   foreach ( $words as $word )
   {
       $string = str_ireplace($word, '<span class="highlight_word">'.$word.'</span>', $string);
   }
   /*** return the highlighted string ***/
   return $string;
}
$string = 'http://xvon.info/game/register.php?REF=$userid';
$words = array('http://xvon.info/game/register.php?REF=$userid');
$string =  highlightWords($string, $words);

 

Problem with using this is that it dosn't display the actuall userid it just display the code $userid

How am i able to highlight this particular text?

Thanks.

As posted above by Equinox.

'.$var.'/".$var."

The default for MCC is to wrap the variable with { & }. I have always used the other technique but im un-aware of any differences.

It's not default with MCC, you say it as if MCC is a different language completely to PHP.

$string = ' blah ';

The reason you have to define the variable in this instance is down to the single quotes, single quotes will not look for a variable within a string whereas double quotes will, for example:

$string = "http://xvon.info/game/register.php?REF=$userid";

That would work fine.

By default I mean almost every script in the original unedited versions of MCC(default) uses { & } around the variables.

Thank you for the replies, and not just posting the fix. Was nice to have a post explaining why it was doing it and how to fix.

Thank you.
