i asked about bbcode to html..

[dbradbury]

cant find my post tho, was gonna reply on there.. well i was getting information from a forum to show on my website.

and when bbcode formatting was used in the forum, it didnt like it in html. it kept showing [b:473jbdgje] or something for , bolding.

 

but i worked it out with internet surfing also..

 

i needed another file called bbcode.php

<?php
function bbcode ($string)
{
    // All the default bbcode arrays.
    $bbcode = array(
        //Text Apperence
        '#\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]#si' => '<b>\\1</b>',
        '#\[i\](.*?)\[/i\]#si' => '<i>\\1</i>',
        '#\[u\](.*?)\[/u\]#si' => '<u>\\1</u>',
        '#\[s\](.*?)\[/s\]#si' => '<strike>\\1</strike>',
        //Font Color & Size
        '#\[color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/color\]#si' => '<font color="\\1">\\2</font>',
	'#\[size=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/size\]#si' => '<font size="\\1">\\2</font>',
        //Text Effects
        '#\[bl\](.*?)\[/bl\]#si' => '<blink>\\1</blink>',
        '#\[marquee\](.*?)\[/marquee\]#si' => '<marquee>\\1</marquee>',
        //Other
        '#\[code\](.*?)\[/ code]#si' => '<div class="bbcode_code_title">CODE:</div><div class="bbcode_code_code">\\1<div>',
        '#\[url=http://(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url]#si' => '<a href="\\1" target="_blank">\\2</a>',
        '#\[quote\](.*?)\[/quote\]#si' => '<div class="bbcode_quote_title">CODE:</div><div class="bbcode_quote_quote">\\1<div>',
        '#\[img\](.*?)\[/img\]#si' => '<img src="\\1">',
        '#\[email\](.*?)\[/email\]#si' => '<a href="mailto:\\1">\\1</a>'
    );
    $output = preg_replace(array_keys($bbcode), array_values($bbcode), $string);
    return $output;
}
?>

 

then on my actual page put a

require("bbcode.php");

 

then where the text was displayed that used bbcode on the forum i had to put

echo bbcode("THEN VARIABLE FOR THE TEXT HERE");

 

also i had to in my forum disable bbcode and smilies...

 

altho im working on the smilies part...
