[SOLVED] Smilies in text

[web_master]

Hi,

 

People write text in shout box (pure PHP).

 

When reload the text from dBase I want to change the basic "smiles" to icons.

 

Example: Hello, my name is Georg : ) - change to Hello, my name is Georg ...

 

 

Thanx in advanced

An example.

 

<?php

  $s = "this is some text with a smilie face ";
  echo str_replace("","<img src='smilie.gif'>",$s);

?>

An example.

 

<?php

  $s = "this is some text with a smilie face ";
  echo str_replace("","<img src='smilie.gif'>",$s);

?>

 

OK this is a 1 string to replace, but how can I change a more than 1 strings in 1 text?

[trq]

<?php

  $s = "this is some text with a smilie face ";
  $s = str_replace("","<img src='smilie.gif'>", $s);
  $s = str_replace("","<img src='frown.gif'>", $s);
  echo $s;

?>

It'll be better if you use an array:

function parse_smilies($txt)
{
    $smilies_symb = array('', '', '');
    $smilies_html = array('<img src="smilie.gif">', '<img src="sad.gif">', '<img src="wink.gif">');

    $txt = str_replace($smilies_symb, $smilies_html, $txt);

    return $txt;
}

$s = "this is some text with a smilie face ";

$s = parse_smilies($s);

echo $s;

another example

<?php
$code[] = "";
$img[]="<img src='frown.gif'>";

$code[] = "";
$img[]="<img src='happy.gif'>";

$code[] = "";
$img[]="<img src='poke.gif'>";

$s = "this is some text with a smilie face ";
$s = str_replace($code, $img, $s);
echo $s;
?>
