Replacement variables NOT case sensitive

[Jawelin]

Hi. I found probably a bug in the replacement variable feature of VB 2.2.1 (and below, I guess).
You can find more information here in vb.org ...

Well, with a little studying, I found out the actual replacement code is in functions.php, here:

PHP Code:

  while ($var=$DB_site->fetch_array($vars)) {
    if ($var['findword']!="") {
      $newtext=str_replace($var['findword'],$var['replaceword'],$newtext);
    }
  } 


My question is: your own opinion, could I generate any side effect replaceing the above line with the following one ?

PHP Code:

      $newtext=str_replace(strtoupper($var['findword']),$var['replaceword'],strtoupper($newtext)); 


I.e., this way, the $newtext variable is assigned from the strtoupper($newtext) or - hopefully - all the findword occurrences are replaced into the original $newtext, which remains the same ?



Thank you for any help.

No... your $newtext will be in all caps.

for case insensitive, try this:

PHP Code:

$newtext = eregi_replace($var['findword'], $var['replaceword'], $newtext); 


eregi_replace() will put a higher load on your system than a simple str_replace.

PHP Docs: eregi_replace()

No. I can't add load to cpu, already too high ...
(I'm on shared server... always about 4-7 % avg...)

A workaround: that function runs at displaying time; if I made something like at editing/insert time (even with eregi_replace()) ??
How many and where should I modify (add) the function ?

Thnx a lot.
Bye
