It works good in most cases but currently, the function escapes a bit too much if you have content like the following: → In this case it shouldn't escape the ampersand but it does. Unfortunately, I don't know how to add this special case easily to your regular expression. best ,rené Hey Karl,

In this case it shouldn’t escape the ampersand but it does. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to add this special case easily to your regular expression.

If you just want to do a simple replacement and don’t mind where the word might appear, you would be better off using PHP’s str_replace() function:

1
2
3
4
$word = "foo";
$replace = "bar";
$string = "<img src="hello.png" alt="This is a nice foo image" /><p>This is a nice foo string</p>";
echo str_replace($word, $replace, $string); // <img src="hello.png" alt="This is a nice bar image" /><p>This is a nice bar string</p>
