Show smiley in GB

[Redneckheaven]

I am trying to get smleys to show up in my guestbook which is in flash. I use php to post name, email, comments, etc to the guestbook. right now I have it when I click on a smiley it puts for instance I have a smiley with thumbs up, when I click on it the word thumbsup is displayed in the comment box. Now when I hit submit I would like the smiley picture to show in guestbook instead of thumbsup. I am using a text file to store the info, which in turn is inputted into guestbook. Everything works great just havent figured out how to get picture to show up. If someone could help I would appreicate it very much so.

You could use str_replace

 

e.g.

 

$post = $_POST['message'];

$search  = array(
                  ':thumbsup:',
                  ':smileyTXT2:',
                  ':etc:'
                );
$replace = array(
                  '<img src="img/smile/thumbsUp.jpg" class="smiley" >',
                  '<img src="img/smile/smiley2.jpg" class="smiley" >',
                  '<img src="img/smile/etc.jpg" class="smiley" >' 
                );

$post = str_replace($search, $replace, $post);

 

See also str_ireplace which does the same thing but is not case sensitive.

Here is my php code I use for the Guestbook.

<?php

$Submit 	= $_POST["Submit"];
$Name 	        = $_POST["Name"];
$Email 	        = $_POST["Email"];
$Website 	= $_POST["Website"];
$Comments 	= $_POST["Comments"];
$State          = $_POST["State"];
$NumLow 	= $_REQUEST["NumLow"];
$NumHigh 	= $_REQUEST["NumHigh"];

$Name 	= ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 ]", "", $Name);
$Email 	= ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 \@\.\-\/\']", "", $Email);
$Website 	= eregi_replace("http://", "", $Website);
$Website 	= ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 \@\.\-\/\'\~\:]", "", $Website);
$State 	= ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 ]", "", $State);

$Comments = eregi_replace('&', ' and ',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('<', '*',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('>', '*',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('sh', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('bi', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('ba', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('c', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('s', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('c', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('w', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('n', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('g', '@#*!#%',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('s', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('s', '$@*%!#',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('d', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('p', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('di', '$@*%!#',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('w', '****',$Comments);
$Comments = eregi_replace('', '#@%!$',$Comments);


$Name 	= stripslashes($Name);
$Email 	= stripslashes($Email);
$Website 	= stripslashes($Website);
$State 	= stripslashes($State);
$Comments 	= stripslashes($Comments);



if ($Submit == "Yes") {

$filename 	= "GuestBook.txt";

$Input = "Name: <b>$Name</b>\nEmail: <b><u><a href=\"mailto:$Email\">$Email</a></u></b>\nWebsite: <b><u><a href=\"http://$Website\" target=\"_blank\">$Website</a></u></b>\nState: <b>$State</b>\nComments: <b>$Comments</b>\n <i><font size=\"-1\">\nDate: $Today</font>.:::.\n\n";

/* This Line adds the '&GuestBook=' part to the front of the data that is stored in the text file.  This is important because without this the Flash movie would not be able to assign the variable 'GuestBook' to the value that is located in this text file  */

$New = "$Input$OldData";

// Opens and writes the file.

$fp = fopen( $filename,"w"); 
if(!$fp) die("&GuestBook=cannot write $filename ......&");
fwrite($fp, $New, 800000); 
fclose( $fp ); 
}

$Data 	= fread($fp, 800000); 
fclose( $fp );

// Splits the Old data into an array anytime it finds the pattern .:::.
$DataArray = split (".:::.", $Data);

// Counts the Number of entries in the GuestBook
$NumEntries = count($DataArray) - 1;

print "&TotalEntries=$NumEntries&NumLow=$NumLow&NumHigh=$NumHigh&GuestBook=";
for ($n = $NumLow; $n < $NumHigh; $n++) {
print $DataArray[$n];
	if (!$DataArray[$n]) {
		Print "<br><br><b>No More entries</b>";
	exit;
	}
}
?>

 

Left bad words out no need to post them here ---lol. Now where would I put it in this code. This has missed with me for awhile now.

What is the variable that stores the string in which the values need to be replaced?

[Redneckheaven]

The Var is Comments for the comment_txt box where people type in their comments. Is that what your asking  for? Now hte Var for the registery_txt box where the pictureis  to show up in Guestbook is --GuestBook

[Redneckheaven]

What I have for each smiley is  on(press) { Comments = Comments add "icon1"; }
