PHP/BBcode Question

[asbxzeeko]

Probably a stupid question, but I was wondering how to add a BBcode option on my guestbook, on my website. I followed the steps exactly as they were in this tutorial (and the next two) but I can't seem configure the textarea to be the $outut. Sorry if that didn't make sense.

 

Code for the guestbook page:

 

<?php include 'header.php';


require 'classes/nbbc.php';
$bb = new bbcode();


$bb->SetDetectURLs(true);


$bb->AddRule('php', array(


'simple_start' => '<pre class="php">',
'simple_end' => '</pre>',
'class' => 'block',
'allow_in' => null


));


$bb->AddRule('youtube', array(


'mode' => BBCODE_MODE_ENHANCED,
'template' => '<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$_content}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>',
'class' => 'block',
'allow_in' => null


));



$output = '';
$bb -> Parse($output);


?>

<form method=post action=add_entry.php>
<table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' align=center width=300>
<tr><td><font face='Verdana' size='2'>Your Name *</font><td><input type=text name=name></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=#F2EABD><td><font face='Verdana' size='2'>Email *</font><td><input type=text name=email></td></tr>
<tr><td><font face='Verdana' size='2'>Country</font><td><input type=text name=country></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor=#F2EABD><td colspan=2 align=center><textarea name=dtl rows=5 cols=40 id="textyy"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr ><td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value='Add Entry'></td></tr>


</table></form>


<br><br>
<?php
include 'view_entry.php';
include 'footer.php';
?>
