.josh · July 19, 2009

follow the link. It shows the syntax for it, as well as examples, followed by a ton of user contributed notes about it.

Robert Elsdon · July 19, 2009

.josh · July 19, 2009

I don't understand how you think me posting an example will be any easier for you to understand than the example(s) in the link I posted. It sounds like you don't an example, but actual code relevant to your problem at hand. Well we aren't here to write your code for you.

Im looking for a little help?

<?php

$string = "This is be a test";

echo str_replace(" is", " could", $string);

?>

where it says could how would i make a image show there?

.josh · July 20, 2009

by replacing "could" with the image tag...

echo str_replace(" is", "<img src='...' ... />", $string);

that will replace " is" with "<img src='...' ... />" (no outer double quotes)

Robert Elsdon · July 20, 2009

thanks, i had a rough idea lol i was using double quotes thank alot mate i actually learned hehe

Now, heres my index page (home page of site).

<?PHP session_start();?>
<? include("includes/connect.php");
?>






<html>
<head>
<title> Local Host </title>
<link href="includes/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<div align="center">
<body>

<div class="nc_wrapper">

<? include ('includes/header.php'); ?>

<div class="spacer"></div>

<? include ('includes/left-menu.php'); ?>


<div class="content">
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:100%; background:#000000">
<tr><td class="content_head">
Content
</td></tr>

<tr><td class="actual_content">



Welcome to localhost, This is just a temperary website as for now untill i get it 100% complete! THEN i am giving it to a good friend of mine who owns - <a href="http://pulse-box.com" target="new_window">Pulse-Box</a> so he can sell it to any of yous who like it.

 :)  :) 

</td></tr>

<tr><td class="content_foot"></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>


<? include ('includes/footer.php') ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

How would i make it change the in the content with a image by using this script?

<?php

$string = "This is a test ";
echo str_replace(" ", " <img src='images/smilies/smile.gif'/>", $string);

?>

Regards

Robert

.josh · July 20, 2009

You can't do it like that. Once the content is output, you can't go back and change it. At least, not with php. I suppose you could use some client-side scripting to do it, but I don't think that's what you're really looking to do.

I have to ask...if you have a page hardcoded like that, why not just put the image tags in there in the first place?

Robert Elsdon · July 20, 2009

its for a shoutbox, When you type : ) it replaces with mage automaticly

Regards

.josh · July 20, 2009

I'm not seeing anything for that in the code you posted. I just assumed that you were wanting to replace that line of : ) with images in that td tag. Perhaps it is in one of your includes?

Robert Elsdon · July 20, 2009

Yeah it is the shoutbox is in left-nav.php include

Is there a script i can add to the shoutbox to replace with image smilie?

Thanks, Robert

.josh · July 20, 2009

okay so if left-nav.php is what displays the shoutbox entries, you're going to have to integrate the str_replace in that bit of code.

Robert Elsdon · July 20, 2009

How would i do multiple tags ? heres an example but it doesnt work? You might get what i mean..

<?php

$string = "This is a test ";
echo str_replace(" ", " <img src='images/smilies/smile.gif'/>", $string);

echo str_replace(" ", " <img src='images/smilies/sad.gif'/>", $string);

echo str_replace(" ", " <img src='images/smilies/grin.gif'/>", $string);

echo str_replace(" ", " <img src='images/smilies/tounge.gif'/>", $string);

?>

The last 3 echo str_replace are examples

.josh · July 20, 2009

dude you're making this harder than it needs to be. Where in left-nav.php is the part that displays the shouts?

Robert Elsdon · July 20, 2009

The form to post messages onto the shoutbox

<form action="<? echo $php_self ?>#bottom" method="post">
<center>




<?
mysql_connect("localhost","root","12345678");
mysql_select_db("shoutbox");

if($_POST['submit']) { ?>

<?
$name	= $_POST['name'];
$message= $_POST['message'];
$time=date("h:ia d/m/y");

if(!$message) { ?>
Please enter a message.
<? } else if($message == 'Enter Message') { ?>
<font color="#b2eb62">
PLEASE ENTER A MESSAGE</font>
<? } else { ?>
<?
$insertshout="INSERT INTO shoutbox(name,message,time) VALUES ('$name', '$message','$time')";
mysql_query($insertshout) or die("Cannot insert shout");
?>
<script type="text/JavaScript">window.location='index.php';</script>
<? } ?>
<? } else { } ?>





<table>

<? if($_SESSION['logged_in'] == 'Yes') { ?>

<tr><td>
<center>Username :</center> <center><input class="text_input" type='text' value='<?=(ucwords($_SESSION[user_name]));?>' name='name' size=30 maxlength='100' readonly="yes"></center>


</td><tr>

<? } else { ?>


<? } ?>

<tr><td>
<center>Message :</center> <center><input class="text_input" type="text" maxlength="300" name="message" id="message" value="Enter Message" onclick=document.getElementById('message').value=""; onBlur="shoutmessage();"></center>
</td></tr>

<tr><td>
<center><input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Post Shout" style="margin:0px;"></center>
</td></tr>
</table>

</form>

And heres the shoutbox itself which displays the posts

<?PHP session_start(); ?>




<?
include("includes/connect.php");
// Get the messages from the databse
$get_messages = mysql_query("select * from shoutbox");
$amountofmessages = mysql_num_rows($get_messages);

$select_shouts = mysql_query("select * from shoutbox ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10");
?>	

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="width: 100%;">

<? 
$color='dark';
while($r=mysql_fetch_array($select_shouts)) { 
if($color == 'dark') { ?>

<tr class="dark">
<td><?=$r["time"];?></td>
<td><?=$r["date"];?></td>
<td><b><font color="#b2eb62"><?=$r["id"];?></font></b>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="left" style="padding:3px;">
<b><?=$r["name"];?></b><b><font color="#b2eb62"> -</b> </font><?=$r['message'];?>
</td>
</tr>

<? $color='light';} else { ?>

<tr class="dark">

<td><?=$r["time"];?></td>
<td><?=$r["date"];?></td>
<td><b><font color="#b2eb62"><?=$r["id"];?></font></b>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="left" style="padding:3px;">
<b><?=$r["name"];?></b><b><font color="#b2eb62"> -</b> </font><?=$r['message'];?>
</td>
</tr>

<? $color='dark';} } ?>

</table>


<? if(!$_SESSION['logged_in'] == 'Yes') { ?>
<p align="center">
<font color="#b2eb62">you need to be logged in to view this form to post on shoutbox! </ br>
Please, <a href="index.php">Login</a> <b>/</b> <a href="register.php">Register</a> to post a message!
</p></font>
<? } ?>

Regards, Robert

Okay, in the shoutbox code that displays the actual shouts, you have these 2 lines:

while($r=mysql_fetch_array($select_shouts)) {
if($color == 'dark') { ?>

change that to

while($r=mysql_fetch_array($select_shouts)) {
$r['message'] = str_replace("", "<img src='images/smilies/smile.gif'/>", $r['message']);
if($color == 'dark') { ?>
