BBCode help

I have my BBCode parser:

<?php

function bb2html($text)

{

  $bbcode = array("<", ">",

                "

• ", "
• ", "

",

                "",

                "", "",

                "", "",

                "", "",

                '"]');

  $htmlcode = array("<", ">",

                "<ul>", "<li>", "</ul>",

                "<img src=\"", "\">",

                "<b>", "</b>",

                "<u>", "</u>",

                "<i>", "</i>",

                "<span style=\"color:", "</span>",

                "<span style=\"font-size:", "</span>",

                '<a href="', "</a>",

                "<a href=\"mailto:", "</a>",

                "<code>", "</code>",

                "<table width=100% bgcolor=lightgray><tr><td bgcolor=white>", "</td></tr></table>",

                '">');

  $newtext = str_replace($bbcode, $htmlcode, $text);

  $newtext = nl2br($newtext);//second pass

  return $newtext;

}

?>[/code]

 

I have it included.

	include 'inc/bbcode.php';

 

But I just don't really know where to go next.

I'm trying to convert the BBCode in the news on my homepage which is loaded from the forums into HTML. That's called via <?PHP echo $post; ?>

 

Still no idea what now to actually convert it onload, as at the moment it's doing nothing.

 

Thanks,

Shyish

I think you need to edit your post a bit.

Well, you have a function:

 

$new_text = bb2html($text);

 

This function returns the replaced text (from what I can tell). Simply place text ($text) to convert to HTML in there and then echo out the results ($new_text).
