[SOLVED] How to create simple post thread style buttons for my forum(Creating a forum)

[pianoman993]

Hello PHP experts! I am creating my own forum and I have all the core components of a basic forum down. However I'm having a bit of a problem with creating buttons like (bold, italic, underline, quote, code..) when users are creating a new post.

 

Does anybody know of any websites that have tutorials I can follow? I have searched and searched for any type of tutorial but haven't found any :/

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Well you have a few options, it depends which you want..

 

A Rich Text Editor, bbcode, or a cobmination of the both like a WYSIWYG editor?

Aha! I though bbcode was a special term only applied to vBulletin! I typed in "creating bbcode tutorial" in google and there they were! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
