highlight searched string

Why not use CodeIgniter's Text helper?

Code:

highlight_phrase()

Will highlight a phrase within a text string. The first parameter will contain the
original string, the second will contain the phrase you wish to highlight. The third and
fourth parameters will contain the opening/closing HTML tags you would like the phrase
wrapped in. Example:

$str = "Here is a nice text string about nothing in particular.";

$string = highlight_phrase($string, "nice text", '<span style="color:#990000">', '</span>');
The above text returns:

Here is a nice text string about nothing in particular.
