Hey! i need help with smilies...

[Anon]

I hav built a guest book and now i want to add some smilies.. but when i use the script that someone gave me its doesnt works.. this is the script:

$smilies = array(
"🙂" => "<img src=smilies/smile.gif>"
);

foreach($smilies AS $face => $image) {
$text = str_replace($face, $image, $text);
}

When i write for e.x: <? print "🙂"; ?>
its apears as 🙂 and not as an image...
why its doesnt works? My Guest book is built with PHP & MySQL.

thanks!!! 😃

Eny body? please??? 🙁

well, if you do this:

print "🙂"

it's going to print:

🙂

if you do this:

print "<img src=smile.gif>"

then it will print your image.

What you should do is this:

$text = "🙂";

$smilies = array(
"🙂" => "<img src=smilies/smile.gif>"
);

foreach($smilies AS $face => $image) {
$text = str_replace($face, $image, $text);
}

print $text;

Maybe what your trying to do is output buffering? Search PHP.net for:

ob_start() and it's family 🙂
