AdRock Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have a BBcode text editor and it works fine When I click on "Preview", the BBcode gets converted to html and is dsiplayed correctly but when I click on "Post", all that is output is "Post" and not what was in the text editor. I want to create something like here where you can preview your posts before submitting and when happy with the message, submit to database but i need to make sure it works first Here is the form <html><head> <title>Editor</title> <script src="editor.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head><body> <form action="bbcode2.php" method="post" name="editform" onsubmit="return checkForm(this)"> <table id="editform"> <tr> <td colspan="2" id="header">Post a new message</td> </tr> <tr id="subject"> <td>Subject:</td> <td><input type="text" name="subject" size="50" class="form_elements_text" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2" id="smilies">Smilies <a href="javascript:smilie('')"> <img src="smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" /></a> <a href="javascript:smilie('')"> <img src="biggrin.gif" alt="big grin" title="big grin"/></a> <a href="javascript:smilie('')"> <img src="razz.gif" alt="razz" title="razz" /></a></td> <td> <input type="button" class="button" value="bold" name="bold" onclick="javascript:tag('b', '[b]', 'bold*', '[/b]', 'bold', 'bold');" onMouseOver="helpline('bold')" /> <input type="button" class="button" value="italic" name="italic" onclick="javascript:tag('i', '[i]', 'italic*', '[/i]', 'italic', 'italic');" onMouseOver="helpline('italic')" /> <input type="button" class="button" value="underline" name="underline" onclick="javascript:tag('u', '[u]', 'underline*', '[/u]', 'underline', 'underline');" onMouseOver="helpline('underline')" /> <input type="button" class="button" value="quote" name="quote" onclick="javascript:tag('q', '[quote]', 'quote*', '[/quote]', 'quote', 'quote');" onMouseOver="helpline('quote')" /> <input type="button" class="button" value="mail" name="mail" onclick="javascript:tag('mail', '[mail]', 'mail*', '[/mail]', 'mail', 'mail');" onMouseOver="helpline('mail')" /> <input type="button" class="button" value="url" name="url" onclick="javascript:tag('url', '[url]', 'url*', '[/url]', 'url', 'url');" onMouseOver="helpline('url')" /> <input type="button" class="button" value="img" name="img" onclick="javascript:tag('img', '[img=', 'img*', ']', 'img', 'img');" onMouseOver="helpline('img')" /> <br /> Font size: <select name="fontsize" onChange="font('[size=' + this.form.fontsize.options[this.form.fontsize.selectedIndex].value + ']', '[/size]'); this.selectedIndex=2;" onMouseOver="helpline('fontsize')" class="form_elements_dropdown"> <option value="xx-small" >Tiny</option> <option value="x-small" >Small</option> <option value="normal" selected >Normal</option> <option value="large" >Large</option> <option value="x-large" >Huge</option> </select> Font color: <select name="fontcolor" onChange="font('[color=' + this.form.fontcolor.options[this.form.fontcolor.selectedIndex].value + ']', '[/color]'); this.selectedIndex=0;" onMouseOver="helpline('fontcolor')" class="form_elements_dropdown" > <option value="black" style="color:black">Black</option> <option value="silver" style="color:silver">Silver</option> <option value="gray" style="color:gray">Gray</option> <option value="maroon" style="color:maroon">Maroon</option> <option value="red" style="color:red">Red</option> <option value="purple" style="color:purple">Purple</option> <option value="fuchsia" style="color:fuchsia">Fuchsia</option> <option value="navy" style="color:navy">Navy</option> <option value="blue" style="color:blue">Blue</option> <option value="aqua" style="color:aqua">Aqua</option> <option value="teal" style="color:teal">Teal</option> <option value="lime" style="color:lime">Lime</option> <option value="green" style="color:green">Green</option> <option value="olive" style="color:olive">Olive</option> <option value="yellow" style="color:yellow">Yellow</option> <option value="white" style="color:white">White</option> </select> <br /> <input type="text" name="helpbox" size="75" class="helpbox" readonly="readonly"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Post:<br /> <textarea rows="10" cols="50" name="post" class="form_elements_text"></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" id="post"> <input type="submit" name="post" value="Post" class="button" /> <input type="submit" name="preview" value="Preview" class="button"/> <input type="reset" value="Start over" class="button" onclick="javascript:confirm_reset();"/> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body></html> and here is the php which processes the output function BBCode($Text) { // Replace any html brackets with HTML Entities to prevent executing HTML or script // Don't use strip_tags here because it breaks [ url ] search by replacing & with amp $Text = str_replace("<", "<", $Text); $Text = str_replace(">", ">", $Text); // Convert new line chars to html <br /> tags $Text = nl2br($Text); // Set up the parameters for a URL search string $URLSearchString = " a-zA-Z0-9\:\/\-\?\&\.\=\_\~\#\'"; // Set up the parameters for a MAIL search string $MAILSearchString = $URLSearchString .
