    php wrap specific word in text string with html tags

    This is a small function to wrap a specific word in a text string with a html tag. So lets say I want to wrap the third word in

    <b></b>
    tags I would use below.

    echo WrapWord('This is my line of text!', '3', 'b');

    Above would output "This is my line of text!" you will need the function for above to work otherwise it will most likely display a blank page, The function WrapWord(); is below.


    function WrapWord($text, $position, $tag) {
       $ex = explode(' ', $text);
       foreach ($ex as $key => $val) {
          if ($key == $position-1) {
             $val = "<${tag}>${val}</${tag}>";
          }
          $word_string .= "${val} ";
       }
          return $word_string;
    }
     


    some other examples below.


    echo WrapWord('This is my line of text!', '4', 'i');
    //Outputs "This is my <i>line</i> of text!"

    echo WrapWord('This is my line of text!', '2', 'p');
    //Outputs "This <p>is</p> my line of text!"

    echo WrapWord('This is my line of text!', '1', 'span');
    //Outputs "<span>This</span> is my line of text!"
     


    and a full mark up of the php file.


    <?php
    function WrapWord($text, $position, $tag) {
       $ex = explode(' ', $text);
       foreach ($ex as $key => $val) {
          if ($key == $position-1) {
             $val = "<${tag}>${val}</${tag}>";
          }
          $word_string .= "${val} ";
       }
          return $word_string;
    }


    echo WrapWord('This is my line of text!', '3', 'b');
    ?>
     


    Hope this comes in useful to some people.
