Faces icon

[garydt]

I've made a forum and I want to be able use icon faces in it like  but I've got no idea how to go about it. Do i put the symbols into an array and use 'str_replace'? What about the face images, where do they go?

Thanks.

you coded an entire forum and you cant figure out this simple thing?.. wow

 

just do

str_replace("","<img src='smilie_url' />");

Thanks. I did think it might be str_replace.

 

One other thing. When writing a post and you click on a face icon, how do you make the symbol appear instantly in the post?

That would be Javascript, not php.

Here's what I've tried but the symbols aren't going into the textarea.

        <form action="<?php echo $loginFormAction; ?>" method="POST" name="form1" id="form1">
  <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<td>
  <a href="javascript:;" onClick="document.form1.post.value="""><img src="../smiley.gif" border="0" /></a></td>
		  <td ><br />
		  <strong>Enter post</strong><br />
		  <textarea name="post" cols="60" rows="7"><?php echo $edit; ?></textarea><p>
  		  <input name="Preview" type="submit" id="Preview" value="Preview" />  
  		  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /><p>

	  <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1">
</td>

If it matters, they are called smilies.  You may have better luck on searching for that instead of faces.

That adds the smiley to your textarea, make sure you edit that script to fit your own needs.

 

Then download the smileys

 

Example

 

= images/smileys/happy.gif

 

..etc

Thanks. I did what the site said and i put-

        <form action="<?php echo $loginFormAction; ?>" method="POST" name="form1" id="form1">
<script language=”javascript”>
<!–
function writeImgTag(code)
{
var cache = document.form1.post.value;
this.code = code;
document.form1.post.value = cache + ” <img src=’../smileys/” + code + “.gif’> “;
document.form1.post.focus();
}
//–>
</script>
  <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<td>
<img src="../smileys/smiley.gif" onClick=”writeImgTag(’smiley’)” />
</td>
		  <td ><br />
		  <strong>Enter post</strong><br />
		  <textarea name="post" cols="60" rows="7"><?php echo $edit; ?></textarea><p>
  		  <input name="Preview" type="submit" id="Preview" value="Preview" />  
  		  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /><p>

 

I still get nothing in  the textarea when i click the face. What have i got wrong?
