OK you have doen teh javascript to place stuff like [b]BOLD[/b],[h1]Header[/h1] into the text area adn teh the whole string has been saved in the database. You want to replace [b]SOME TEXT[/b] with bold tags adn same for h1 now you could do a string replace on just the '[' and the ']' [code]<?php $string = "[b]some bold text[/b] at the start of teh post."; $lookfor = array('[', ']'); $replacewith = array('<', '>'); $string = str_replace($lookfor, $replacewith, $string); ?> [/code] or you could do similar with regular expressions... [code]<?php $lookfor = array('/[b](?!\[)[/b]/','/[h1](?!\[)[/h1]/'); $replacewith = array('<b>\\1</b>', '<h1>\\1</h1>'); $strinng = preg_replace($lookfor, $replacewith, $string); ?> [/code] It takes too long to explain regular expressions so juts go and find a good tutorial on them..... [/quote] Ok. That will do. Thank you! -Computerpros

[/quote] Could you explain that regular expression replacement stuff to me some more or point to a tut please? -Computerpros

Hey! I am going to being building a forum system very soon. One thing though that I am wondering is how you would parse (and also add into posts) the ubbc code that the user posts......any suggestions? links? Your help would be appreciated. -Computerpros
