[SOLVED] str_replace()

[DJTim666]

I am trying to make it so that I can have my own code for my website. It doesn't seem to be converting the code using str_replace() before insertin it into the DB. Below is the code I am using.

 

$profile = $_POST[newprofile];
str_replace("[br]", "<br>", $profile);
str_replace("[u]", "<u>", $profile);
str_replace("[/u]", "</u>", $profile);
str_replace("[b]", "<b>", $profile);
str_replace("[/b]", "</b>", $profile);
str_replace("[img]", "<img src='", $profile);
str_replace("[/img]", "'>", $profile);
str_replace("[url]", "<a href='", $profile);
str_replace("[/url]", "'>Website</a>", $profile);
str_replace("[hr]", "<hr>", $profile);
str_replace("<", "", $profile);
str_replace("/>", "", $profile);
str_replace(">", "", $profile);
//code here.......
mysql_query("UPDATE user_profiles SET profile='$profile' WHERE username='$Yourname'");

str_replace does not modify the original; you need to set the original to its return value. You can also clean up your code by putting your searches and replaces in an array.
