thanks coopster, that got me going in the right direction.

I modified it a bit, so it's ungreedy as well as won't match words that are already contained in html:

$patterns[0] = "/(<p>[^<]*\b)(hello)(\b[^>]*<\/p>)/isU";


So it will match
<p>Hello there</p>
but not


<p><a href="/">Hello</a> there</p>


or


<p><table class="hello"><tr>...</tr></table> there</p>
