Replacing part of string, (or editing maybe)

Let's assume that I have the following: First, the string $string = "smth;smthelse;thirdpart;blahblah;andsoon"; Now I want to bold the fourth part of my string and make it <b>blahblah</b> so the end result would be as follows $string = "smth;smthelse;thirdpart;<b>blahblah</b>;andsoon"; I thought of exploding my delimited string to an array, but the number of parts (5 in the example) varies and I don't know what to do... I would be most grateful if you share some ideas

I wonder how I missed it on PHP.net Works great that way if somebody is wondering: CODE // Provides: You should eat pizza, beer, and ice cream every day $phrase = "You should eat fruits, vegetables, and fiber every day."; $healthy = array("fruits", "vegetables", "fiber"); $yummy = array("pizza", "beer", "ice cream"); $newphrase = str_replace($healthy, $yummy, $phrase);
