Hi,

I'm looking for a method to replace on submit keywords that a user
inputs into a memo fieldtype. In essence, something similar to the
Javascript Kontera system, but using php and processing once on the
forms submission.

I would have a table of keywords and a coinciding url. I want the url
to be wrapped around the keyword when the data get's stored in the
database.

one two three four five

becomes

one <a hrf=>two</> three <a hrf=>four</> five

I've so far came up with this:

$sql = "select * from table;";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$user_input = $_POST[user_input];
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$replacement = $row[replacement];
$to_replace = '<a href="'. $row[url].'"> '.$replacement .'</a>';
$user_input = str_replace($replacement, $to_replace, $user_input);
}

Can anyone see any issues with this, or a better way to do it? I
appologise if my code is not good, i'm a bit of a newbie. I've tried
searching but couldn't see any other posts like this.

Thanks for your .

Anyone know of a pre-written script or something similar in php?
