BBCode

[kevinritt]

I've set up a page where the client can edit text from a database using a form. After the form is submitted, the text is updated. I'd like to add BBCode to the textarea (similar to what I'm typing in now  ) so the client can change colors, fonts, size, etc. How can I do this? Is there a tutorial out there?

<?php
$string = "<table><tr><td>I [i]am[/i] so [b]cool[/b]</td><td>[smile]</td> </td><tr></table>";

$bb_replace = array('[b]','[/b]','[i]','[/i]','[smile]');

$bb_replacements = array ('<b>','</b>','<i>','</i>','<img width="50px" height="30px" src="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:kq6ay2cATrQg0M:http://www.teacherjoe.com/smiley2.gif">',' ');

$string = str_replace($bb_replace,$bb_replacements,$string);

echo $string;
?>

redarrow,

Would I just use that as an 'include' file?

 

Thanks

you can make it into a function for easy use whenever you need it.
