Not sure how to do this ...

[kevinritt]

I have this code that someone wrote for me

function bbcode(open, end){ 
var tArea = document.description.description; 
var isIE = (document.all)? true : false; 
var open = (open)? open : ""; 
var end = (end)? end : ""; 
if(isIE){ 
tArea.focus(); 
var curSelect = document.selection.createRange(); 
if(arguments[2]){ 
curSelect.text = open + arguments[2] + "]" + curSelect.text + end; 
}else{ 
curSelect.text = open + curSelect.text + end; 
} 
}else if(!isIE && typeof tArea.selectionStart != "undefined"){ 
var selStart = tArea.value.substr(0, tArea.selectionStart); 
var selEnd = tArea.value.substr(tArea.selectionEnd, tArea.value.length); 
var curSelection = tArea.value.replace(selStart, '').replace(selEnd, ''); 
if(arguments[2]){ 
tArea.value = selStart + open + arguments[2] + "]" + curSelection + end + selEnd; 
}else{ 
tArea.value = selStart + open + curSelection + end + selEnd; 
} 
}else{ 
tArea.value += (arguments[2])? open + arguments[2] + "]" + end : open + end; 
} 
} 

and I have this code:

function ValidateOutput($value) {
	$BBCode = array(
	"
[center]" => "<center>", "[/center]
" => "</center>", 
	"[b]" => "<b>", "[/b]" => "</b>", 
	"[u]" => "<u>", "[/u]" => "</u>",
	"[i]" => "<i>", "[/i]" => "</i>",
	"[*]" => "<li>", "" => "</li>",
	); 
	$value = str_replace(array_keys($BBCode), array_values($BBCode), $value); 
	$value = stripslashes(nl2br($value));
	return $value; 
}

I'd like to add the ability to change the font color, font style, and upload images. I've been looking at this code and I am not experienced enough to know how to add the mentioned features. Can someone give me a clue as to where to go for help? Forums, tutorials, etc

I'd like to add the ability to change the font color, font style,

You'll need javascript for that.

These are typical Rich Text Editor functionalities. Try an existing one like Fckeditor, Tinymce or lookup tutorials how to build one yourself

 

and upload images.

I see that the second code block is written in php. You can use php to upload a form.
