Parse BBCode URL's

[wrathican]

hey people,

im in the process of making a small CMS and im making my own bbcode type thing.

 

im only having a few bbcodes and i have them all sorted apart from the link one

 

im going to use  [ url = blahhhhh ] link [ / url ]

 

without the spaces

 

but i cant figure out how to parse it so it looks like a html link <a href="blahhhh">link</a>

 

help?

 

Thanks

Try this class.

It is very powerful and extensible!

This simple preg_replace should work:

 

<?php
function bb2html($text) {
$find = array(
	'~\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]~s'
);
$replace = array(
	'<a href="$1">$2</a>'
);
return preg_replace($find, $replace, $text);
}

//usage
$text = 'a bb code link: [url=http://google.com/]Google[/url]';
echo bb2html($text);
?>
