citricsquid Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi guys, I've built my own mini BBCode to use with an application, using preg_replace to create the replacements of [][/] that match my array of BBCode samples. I also validate inputs, checking that they're not empty or have too little characters. However, I have hit a problem: If a does something like [ b ][ / b ] (no spaces) it counts towards the total character count, even though it's output is nothing, therefore even if the min character count is 100, just having 20 [ b ][ / b ]'s would go over that and still be blank. How can I remove any BBCode from my string, where it contains nothing inside? I'm thinking I'll need to use preg_replace, like, trim all whitespace from the string and check if [ b ][ / b ] (remove spaces) is there, if it is, remove it. Is this the correct method, or have I made an oversight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citricsquid Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Why write it? http://be.php.net/bbcode I've looked at that, but after installing it it doesn't work. Dunno what the problem is, I'm probably doing something wrong, but right now I just want something that works and this pretty much does, so I'm not changing.
