BBCode among other things

[Rosst]

I made a bbcode function for my news system, I wanted to add a php tag and so I tried but it didn't work, here is my code:
[code]<?
function bbcode($content){
$content = nl2br(htmlspecialchars($content));

    $bbcode = array(
       "'\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]'",
       "'\[i\](.*?)\[/i\]'",
       "'\[u\](.*?)\[/u\]'",
       "'\[code\](.+?)\[/code\]'",
       "'\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]'",
       "'\[url\](.*?)\[/url\]'",
       "'\[img\](.*?)\[/img\]'",  
       "'\[php\](.*?)\[/php\]'"
        );
        
      $html = array(
        "<b>\\1</b>",
        "<i>\\1</i>",
        "<u>\\1</u>",
        "<strong>Code:</strong><div style=\"margin:0px 10px;padding:5px;border:1px dotted #FFFFFF;width:80%;\"></em>\\1</em></div>",
        "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_BLANK\">\\2</a>",
        "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_BLANK\">\\1</a>",
        "<img border=\"0\" src=\"\\1\">",
        "<strong>PHP:</strong><div style=\"margin:0px 10px;padding:5px;border:1px dotted #FFFFFF;width:80%;\"></em><?php highlight_sting(\"\\1\"); ?></em></div>
        );
      
    $content = preg_replace($bbcode, $html, $content);
    return nl2br($content);
}
?>[/code]
Oh also my news comments aren't showing up (I get the header and menu but no content) here is my code:
[code]<?php
ob_start(); // allows us to use cookies
include("config.php"); // includes the config file
if ($logged['username']){ // if the user is logged in they can view this

switch($_GET['view']){ // news_comments.php?view=
case 'news': // news_comments.php?view=news&id=$id

$id = $_GET['acl']; // grabs the requested id
$select = "select * from news where id=$id"; // selects the requested id from the database
$select2 = "select * from news_comments where nid=$id ORDER BY id DESC"; // grabs comments for the news article

$getnews = mysql_query($select) // querys the news db
or die(mysql_error()); // die error!
$getcomments = mysql_query($select2); // querys the comments db

if (mysql_num_rows($getnews) == "0") { // if we are returned a nulled result

echo 'Unable to find the article in our database'; // nothing found error!
exit(); // exit
}
$row = mysql_fetch_array($getnews) // array
or die(mysql_error()); // error!

$nid = $row['id']; // news id
$ntitle = $row['title']; // news title
$ncontent = bbcode($row['content']); // news content with bbcode wrapped around it
$nauthor = $row['author']; // news author
$postdate = $row['postdate']; // news date

    echo ("<tr>
                <td>$ntitle Posted by <a href=\"index.php?id=memb&user=$nauthor\">$nauthor</a> At $postdate<br></td>
            </tr>
               <tr>
                <td>$ncontent<br><br>Comments:<br></td>
            </tr>");
            
if (mysql_num_rows($getcomments) == "0") { // if we are returned a nulled result for the comments echo a link to add em
echo("There are no comments!<br>[<a href=\"index.php?id=newscom&view=addcomment&acl=$id\">Add a comment</a>]"); // add a link!
}
if($logged[username] && $logged[level] ==5) // if the user is a admin

while($rowc= mysql_fetch_array($getcomments)){ // fetches an array

$cauthor = $rowc['author']; // comment author
$ccomment = bbcode($rowc['content']); // comment content
$cdate = $rowc['postdate']; // comment date

    echo ("<tr>
                <td>Comment Posted by <a href=\"index.php?id=memb&user=$nauthor\">$cauthor</a> At $cdate [<a href=\"index.php?id=newad&view=editcomment&acl=$id\">Edit</a>] [<a href=\"index.php?id=newad&view=deletecomment&acl=$id\">Delete</a>]<br></td>
            </tr>
               <tr>
                <td>$ccomment<br><br></td>
            </tr>");    
}
while($rowc= mysql_fetch_array($getcomments)){ // if the user is a normal user echo this

$cauthor = $rowc['author']; // comment author
$ccomment = bbcode($rowc['content']); // comment content
$cdate = $rowc['postdate']; // comment date

    echo ("<tr>
                <td>Comment Posted by <a href=\"index.php?id=memb&user=$nauthor\">$cauthor</a> At $cdate<br></td>
            </tr>
               <tr>
                <td>$ccomment<br><br></td>
            </tr>");
}
echo("[<a href=\"index.php?id=newscom&view=addcomment&acl=$id\">Add a comment</a>]"); // add a comment
break;
case 'addcomment': // page for adding comments news_comments.php?view=addcomment&id=&id
ob_start(); // cookies
include("config.php"); // includes the config file

$id = $_GET['acl']; // grabs the news id
if(isset($_POST['add_comment'])) { // if the form has been submitted we query the db

$author = $logged['username']; // comments author
$postdate = date("g:i A, l F j"); // comments date
$content = $_POST[content]; // comment
$nid = $_GET['acl']; // news id

$sql = "INSERT INTO news_comments ( `author` , `postdate`, `content`, `nid`) VALUES ('$author', '$postdate', '$comment', '$nid')"; // query for adding the comment
$addblog = mysql_query($sql) // query?s the db
or die(mysql_error()); // error!

header("Location: index.php"); // redirects the user
}
else // the form has not been submitted so we display it
{
echo ("<form method=\"post\" name=\"addcomment\">
<tr>
    <td height=\"20\">Comment:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><br><textarea rows=\"5\" cols=\"35\" name=\"content\">Type your comment here!</textarea><br> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"add_comment\" value=\"Submit\"></td>
</tr>
</form>");
}
}
if (!isset($_GET['id'])) // if there is not requested id we redirect the user
header("Location:index.php?id=news"); // goto news.php
}else{
echo('Hey! you need to [<a href=http://vexxon.net/login.php>login</a>] first!'); // user is not logged in so they are asked to.');
}
?>[/code]
And my link system is not working either, here is the code for it:
[code]
<?php
ob_start(); // allows us to use cookies
include("config.php"); // includes the config file
if(!$logged[username]) {
header("Location:http://vexxon.net"); // if they arent logged in or dont have admin powers they are redirected
}
function cleanlink($url) {
$filter = array(
"http://" => "",
"www." => "",
);
foreach ($filter as $remove => $stay) {
$url = str_replace($remove, $stay, $url);
}
$filterurl = explode("/", $url);
$bombedurl = $filterurl[0];
$url = "http://";
$url .= "$bombedurl";
$url .= "/";
return $url;
}

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$title=$_POST['title'];
$url= cleanlink($_POST['url']);
$description=$_POST['description'];
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `links` ( `title` , `url` , `description` ) VALUES ('$title', '$url', '$description');"); // adds the link to the db
header("Location:http://www.vexxon.net/index.php?id=links");

}
else {
?>
<form method="post" name="links">
<table width="52%" height="459" border="0">

<tr>
<td valign="top">Links Title: </td>
<td valign="top"><input name="title" type="text"></td>

?>[/code]

Try this:
[code]function bbcode($content)
{
    $bbcode = array(
       "'\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]'",
       "'\[i\](.*?)\[/i\]'",
       "'\[u\](.*?)\[/u\]'",

       "'\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]'",
       "'\[url\](.*?)\[/url\]'",

    );

    $html = array(
        "<b>\\1</b>",

        "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_BLANK\">\\1</a>",
        "<img border=\"0\" src=\"\\1\">",
    );

    $content = preg_replace($bbcode, $html, $content);

    // call a dedicated function to highlight our php code.
    $content = preg_replace_callback("#\[php\](.*?)\[\/php\]#is", 'highlight_php', $content);

    return nl2br($content);
}

function highlight_php($matches)
{
    $php = "<strong>PHP:</strong><div style=\"margin:0px 10px;padding:5px;border:1px dotted #FFFFFF;width:80%;\"></em>";
    $php .= highlight_string($matches[0], true);
    $php .= '</em></div>';

    //strip out line breaks:
    $php = str_replace("<br />", '', $php);

    // strip out PHP BBCode tags:
    $php = preg_replace("#(\[php\]|\[/php\])#i", "", $php);

    return $php;

[Rosst]

Hey, I would love to share the usersystem, when I'm done, anyway, can anyone help me with the other things?

[Rosst]

Some one please help me with this:
<?php
include("config.php");
include("include/bbcode.php");

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT*FROM `tuts_cats` ORDER BY id DESC");
if (!$_GET['cat']) {
if (mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0) {
echo "No tutorial categories";
}
else {
echo "<table border=0 width=100%>";
while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
echo ("
<tr>
<td><a href=\"index.php?id=tuts&cat=$r[category]\">$r[category]</td>
</tr>");
}
echo "</table>";
}
}
elseif ($_GET['cat']) {
$cat = $_GET['cat'];
$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT*FROM `tuts` where cat = '$cat' ORDER BY id DESC");
if (mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0) {
echo "No tutorials in this category";
}
else {
echo "<table border=0 width=100%>";
while ($r2=mysql_fetch_array($sql2)) {
echo ("
<tr>

</tr>
");
}
echo "</table>";
}
}
else {
$tut = $_GET['tut'];
$sql3 = mysql_query("SELECT*FROM `tuts` where id = '$tut'");
$r3 = mysql_fetch_array($sql3);
$content = bbcode($r3[content]);
echo "<table border=0>
<tr>
<td>$r3[title] written by <a href=\"index.php?id=memb&user=$r3[author]\">$r3[author]</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>$r3[description], $r3[tutdate]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>$content</td>
</tr>
</table>");
}
?>

OKay can you explain in more detail what that code you posted is supposed to do and what it is currently doing. Without that information how are we supposed to know what to suggest in order to solve this problem.

[Rosst]

The code is my view category, and view tutorial code, it's not working, when I go to the link it shows nothing, observe: www.vexxon.net/includes/tutorials.php

[wildteen88]

if you have no output then it loos like there is an error in your script check your servers error logs to see what the error might be.
