Say
is supposed to become
Hello World.
Step 1.
Create a form with a textarea.
Step 2.
Submit it to your php-script
Step 3.
In your php-script, use str_replace to replace
with
Step 4.
Do a test run.
Step 5.
Pat yourself on the back
Step 6.
Drink a cup of tea and smile.
Step 7.
Have a look at the GUI (graphical user interface) that this forum uses, look at the source code - it's all open source, find out how they do and use the bits you like, or all of it, or none at all.
Voila.
P.S.: And yes, if you read through the thread, all this was posted before.

actually, what version of PHP are u running? if its the newest(5) u can probably use stri_replace...
I never used the function cause i'm on an older version, but if its anything like str_replace, you'll be in the gold. and also another note.
atleast make an effort to find code and not want everyone to create it for you.

If you're not too familiar with PHP it can be quite difficult to patch together something coherent from little odd bits of functions and manual-references. phppick wasn't asking for someone to write him a complete script, he simply did not understand how to make sense out of all the patchwork comments.

blah
i'll get you started on the php side.
Code: Select all
<?php
$old = array('[ b ]', '[ /b ]', '[ b ]', '[ /b ]', '[ i ]', '[ /i ]', '[ i ]', '[ /i ]'); //note to not have spaces after the first [ n before the last ] n each statement (i had to do so cause without them, the board would now show them
$new = array('<b>', '</b>', '<b>', '</b>', '<i>', '</i>', '<i>', '</i>');
return str_replace($old, $new, $string);
?>
seeing str_replace is case sensistive, thats why you will have to create the
and statements. (like I said, stri_replace is case insensitive)
or if you feel really picky and have an older version, you can test your regular expression knowledge and create something using eregi_replace.
as for the textarea and the html side, i hope you can fend for yourself.
Thank You Very Much
