What is the best way to link a specific word within a PHP variable without affecting other occurrences of the word?

When linking a specific word within a PHP variable, you can use the `str_replace()` function to replace only the exact word you want to link without affecting other occurrences of the word. By specifying the word to replace and the link to insert in the function, you can target only the specific instance of the word within the variable. 

<?php
$variable = "This is a sample sentence with the word to be linked.";

$wordToLink = "word";
$link = "<a href='#'>word</a>";

$linkedVariable = str_replace($wordToLink, $link, $variable);

echo $linkedVariable;
?>
