Change text style in form

[web_master]

Hi,

 

I have a <textarea> form. When user insert the text and want to change the SELECTED text attributes how can he do that = I want the simpliest way .

 

 

Mean like here where I type the text where is a "B" button for a bold, or "I" button for a Italic text...

 

Is there a simpiest way than BBCode?

 

thnx

To convert to <b> you have to use regex. You can do a simple method using str_replace but it is inefficient and not very powerful compared to regex functions (preg_replace).

 

To insert BBcode style tags into a textarea you don't need to use PHP. Instead you use javascript. There is most probably a javascript script already coded for you over at dynamicdrive.com or hotscripts.com. Just each google for BBCode or Javascript BBCode insertion.
