HomeBrew BBcode

[Daleeburg]

I am trying to make a BBCode deal here and am running into some problems attempting to make a link code.

 

The hope is to make a way so that my user can type in

 

{url=xxxxxxx}yyyyyy{/url}

(imagine brackets where the {} are)

 

and they get out the <a href="xxxxxxxxx">yyyyyyyyyy< /a>

 

or if they put in

 

{url}yyyyyy{/url}

(imagine brackets where the {} are)

 

they get <a href="yyyyyyyy">yyyyyyyyy< /a>

 

I found this snipped of code on the interwebz and did not think it would work, but i tried it anyways

(it didnt work  )

(parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')')

 

$BBCode = array(

'/\[url\=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]/is' => '<a href="$1">$2</a>'

);

$text = str_replace(array_keys($BBCode), array_values($BBCode), $_POST['body']);

 

(there is more to the array then this, but this is the problem line)

 

So if anybody knows how to make this work, or a way to do this and would please share, it would be greatly appreciated

IF(ISSET($_SESSION['user'])){


// function BBCode($string, $allowimgs = false) {

        // $from[] = '~\[i\](.*?)\[\/i\]~is';

$text = $_POST['body'];

k i have nailed down my submit problem but i ran into a new one

 

when i try to use the URL commands or the left, center or right for some reason my database will not accept it, any other command works and if i put in the html by hand it works.

 

here is the code

 

<?php
FUNCTION addentry(){
IF(ISSET($_SESSION['user'])){

function BBCode($string, $allowimgs = false) {

        $from[] = '~\[i\](.*?)\[\/i\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[b\](.*?)\[\/b\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[u\](.*?)\[\/u\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[s\](.*?)\[\/s\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[url\](.*?)\[\/url\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[center\](.*?)\[\/center\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[right\](.*?)\[\/right\]~is';
        $from[] = '~\[left\](.*?)\[\/left\]~is';

        $to[] = '<i>\\1</i>';
        $to[] = '<b>\\1</b>';
        $to[] = '<u>\\1</u>';
        $to[] = '<del>\\1</del>';
        $to[] = '<a href="\\1">\\2</a>';
        $to[] = '<a href="\\1">\\1</a>';
        $to[] = '<div align="center">\\1</div>';
        $to[] = '<div align="right">\\1</div>';
        $to[] = '<div align="left">\\1</div>';

   //we don't want to allow imgs all the time!
        if ($allowimgs == true) {
           $from[] = '~\[img\](.*?)\[\/img\]~is';
           $to[]   = '<img src="\\1" border="0" alt="" />';
        };

        $string = preg_replace($from, $to, $string);
         return $string;
};

$text = $_POST['body'];

$text = BBCode($text, true); 

$date = date(DATE_RFC822);
$body = nl2br($text);
$title = $_POST['title'];

$query = 'insert into '.$_SESSION['accessdb'].' (title, body, date, who) values ("'.$title.'","'.$body.'","'.$date.'","'.$_SESSION['user'].'")';
$result = mysql_query($query) OR DIE("Did Not Post <br> $body ");

ECHO 'You have Succefuly Posted! One Moment for the Redirection. <a href=editor.php?mode=2"> Click here </a> If the page does not reload in 15 seconds <meta  http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=editor.php?mode=2" />';

}ELSE{ECHO "Please Log in";}
};
?>

 

so the real question is, do i convert it to html before it is put in the database, or do you convert it right before it is viewed?

[darkcarnival]

the idea is to convert when your drawing out the data from the db.

 

this is the easiest way to do it and also allows you to do some necessary cleaning and so forth.

[Daleeburg]

hopefully the last question.

 

using the PHP from above when i use the link bb for some reason it adds http://localhost/xxxxxxxxx to all of my links, any clue how to stop this?
