I'm working completely in the dark here, because I don't know what
variables you're using to retrieve the data from the database, or what
the raw data looks like. However, I think the following might do what
you want:

<?php
function highlightResults($dataValue, $searchString) {
return preg_replace("/$searchString/i", '<span
style="color:red;">'.strtoupper($searchString).'</span>', $dataValue);
}
?>

function highlightResults($dataValue, $searchString) {
str_replace(strtoupper($dataValue), strtoupper($searchString), '<span
style="color:red;">'.strtoupper($searchString).'</span>');
}
