function

[DJTim666]

I created a function that allows me to filter words, add tags and some other stuff. But I realized that if someone messes up a tag and forget to add then everything after their post becomes bolded. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

I don't know of a function that already exists, however if you count (grep) all occurrences of opening and closing (or all (even)) and subtract from each other, if answer equals 0, then cool for school!

uhh i didn't notice you couldn't see the tags, but they are [ b ] and [ /b ]

 

And how would I counnt all occurances of a tag?

If you are using bbcodes (, etc.) then you should parse them as pairs. I guess at the moment you are using str_replace to parse into <b>. This is not very particle. The best way is to use regex for bbcode parsing. I would recommend you searching this forum for the term bbcode, best place to search is in the Regex help forum. There has been many posts about BBCode.
