Automatic links for key words

[s9901470]

Hi

I have a site with a large number of pages, and want to use PHP to automatically cross-link them using key words.

For example, whenever the word 'contact' appears, I want it to automatically link to the 'contact' page.

Because there are 100+ different pages, I don't want to have to edit the links manually.

any suggestions would be most welcome

Thanks in advance

Read the entire source into a string and find/replace the keywords with a url. One way to accomplish this might be to use PHP's output control functions. There is an example on the ob_start() [php.net] page that might get you started.

I don't want to do search/replace because the content of every page in stored in a MySQL database. Is there a way to add the key words after they have been pulled from the database, and turn them into links?

The method just described is exactly that. You would read the value from the database table into a string variable and do a find/replace on keywords in that string.
