Wrapping paragraph tags around text

[jordanwb]

I'm making a website and I'm making it so that the guy can add his own pages. Here's basically what I'd want him to be able to do as well as the result:

 

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Mauris tempor. Donec mollis suscipit arcu. Vestibulum.

[b]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.[/b] Mauris tempor. Donec mollis suscipit arcu. Vestibulum.

 

To this:

 

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Mauris tempor. Donec mollis suscipit arcu. Vestibulum.</p>

<p>[b]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.[/b] Mauris tempor. Donec mollis suscipit arcu. Vestibulum.</p>

 

I think I can figure out how to turn the [ b ] into <b> using Regex.

Usually CMS templating systems such as this evolve into something more complex than the example, do you have plans to support [img...] [url...] tags etc.?

 

For your original question:

$str=preg_replace('/^[^\r\n]+/m','<p>$0</p>',$str);

URL tags yes, but Img tags no. Thanks for the code.

I think I may support Image tags, some tags would be easier to replace than others such as <b> and <i>. I want to have <a> tags as well.

As for how to handle the other tags, consider similar questions here to handle those as well as what to do with mismatched tags etc.:

For the image tags it would be formatted like so:

 

 

the img_id of 7 corresponds to an image path like so:

 

<img alt="" src="path/to/file.jpg" />

 

Here's an example of before and after:

 

[b]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet[/b], consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed sapien felis, feugiat et, porta nec.

[i][b]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet[/b], consectetuer[/i] adipiscing elit. Sed sapien felis, feugiat et, porta nec.

[img src="path/to/file.jpg"]

 

To:

 

<p><b>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</b>, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed sapien felis, feugiat et, porta nec.</p>

<p><i><b>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</b>, consectetuer</i> adipiscing elit. Sed sapien felis, feugiat et, porta nec.</p>

<img alt="" src="path/to/file.jpg" />

 

The guy won't know if I'm using someone else's code, so if you know of an already made bb code parser that would be great.

I found this one: http://www.webtech101.com/PHP/simple-bb-code which looks simple enough. I'll give that a try.
