String Replacing?

[dreamkiller]

this implode/explode doesn't work well

after hours of thinking ..(and no result...) I finally seeked on the net and found this ... (it's working quite nice) (replaces '['b']' and '[/b']' (without these ' )

<?
$pattern = "/[b](.+?)[\/b]/is";

$string = "this text refers to Hier it also refers to Here";

preg_match_all($pattern, $string, $arr_regs);

echo preg_replace($pattern, "<b>\\1</b>", $string);

echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($arr_regs);
echo "</pre>\n";
?>

I don't get it lol....Dannys worked, if only he could come back and tell me how to define the replacement instructions in a seperate file and use it as an include into one of my website files to use the custom markup. =] Dannys was the only one thats worked up 2 now lol.

[Bunkermaster]

store the paterns (searched for, replacement) in an array and loop on the array to translate your code.

[mwood_2k2]

I'll say again shall I.............I'm a

N

!

lol =]

EDIT: Cmon ffs reply already lol

[mwood_2k2]

Cmon someone sort this out for me please I haven't a clue...

I want the replacements to be defined in an external file to the one where I will be using the new commands i.e; [image][/image], I want to be able to use an include() to get it in, and it replace my commands in that file, so I can basically plug it into any file with an include and do its stuff to my custom markup.

Can anyone show me by example what will go in the included file (bbcode.php) and how I will call upon it in my main file (home.php)

PLLEEEAASSSSEEEE! 😕

[Bunkermaster]

bbcode.php

<?
	$BBCode[ '1' ][ '1' ][ '1' ] = "\[image\]";
	$BBCode[ '1' ][ '1' ][ '2' ] = "<IMG src=\"";
	$BBCode[ '1' ][ '2' ][ '1' ] = "\[\/image\]";
	$BBCode[ '1' ][ '2' ][ '2' ] = "\">";
?>

when you wan to translate use the array ^ to store all tags etc...

[mwood_2k2]

Yeah but I want to be able to write in my code into an echo not a variable lol, isnt there anyway for me to do it like this?

<?php

include("bbcode.php")


echo ("


[image]somelink[/image] <br>
[image]nextlink[/image] <br>

etc

");

?>

Well?

[mwood_2k2]

I don't get how to insert that array into my page and how to call on it, wheres the ereg_replace function? lol. I just don't get it, and I don't get those numbers on the array 😕 😕 lol

[dannys]

<?php

$tagList['image']=Array('start'=>'<img src="','end'=>'">');
$tagList['bold']=Array('start'=>'<b>','end'=>'</b>');
$tagList['italic']=Array('start'=>'<i>','end'=>'</i>');
$tagList['underline']=Array('start'=>'<u>','end'=>'</u>');
$tagList['link']=Array('start'=>'<a href="','end'=>'">\\\\1</a>');

function processCode($text,$tagList)
{
	foreach ($tagList as $tagName=>$replace)
		$text=preg_replace("|\\[$tagName\\](.*)\\[/$tagName\\]|Ui","$replace[start]\\\\1$replace[end]",$text);

return $text;
}

$text="

[bold]Here[/bold] [italic]are[/italic] my [bold][underline]pictures[/underline][/bold]:
[image]mypic.png[/image]
[image]mynextpic.png[/image]

";

$newText=processCode($text,$tagList);

echo $newText;

?>

My quick stab at a bbcode style input parser.

[MytchE]

Very nice code 😃

[mwood_2k2]

OMG Thankyou Dannys!!!! Wohoooo lol, does that repeat ok? cos the original messed up when I tried multiple instances of my custom code lol.

FANKOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! lol 😃 😃 😃

[Bunkermaster]

nice! hoped you'd popup danny 😛

[mwood_2k2]

LOL Danny I bet you didn't work for microsoft like bunker lol, hence why most of your code works and his don't LOL

Joke! 😃 😉

[dannys]

Can't seem to keep away from this thread (believe me, I tried🙂) really should doing the work I get paid for atm, but:

<?php

$tagList['image']=Array('start'=>'<img src="','end'=>'">');
$tagList['bold']=Array('start'=>'<b>','end'=>'</b>');
$tagList['italic']=Array('start'=>'<i>','end'=>'</i>');
$tagList['underline']=Array('start'=>'<u>','end'=>'</u>');

$tagList['link']=Array('start'=>'<a href="','end'=>'">\\\\1</a>');
$tagList['email']=Array('start'=>'<a href="mailto:','end'=>'">\\\\1</a>');

$tagList['link=(.*)']=Array('start'=>'<a href="','end'=>'">\\\\2</a>');
$tagList['email=(.*)']=Array('start'=>'<a href="mailto:','end'=>'">\\\\2</a>');

function processCode($text,$tagList)
{
	foreach ($tagList as $tagName=>$replace)
	{
		$tagEnd=preg_replace('/\\W/Ui','',$tagName);
		$text=preg_replace("|\\[$tagName\\](.*)\\[/$tagEnd\\]|Ui","$replace[start]\\\\1$replace[end]",$text);
	}

return $text;
}

$text="

[bold]Here[/bold] [italic]are[/italic] my [bold][underline]pictures[/underline][/bold]:
[image]mypic.png[/image]
[image]mynextpic.png[/image]

Email: [email][e-mail][/email]
[email=[e-mail]]Email Me[/email]
[link=http://www.foo.com]click here[/link]

";

$newText=processCode($text,$tagList);

echo $newText;

?>

A bit of extra hacking (bound to be a much cleaner way of doing it but I don't have time) to get the vB style link and email tags.

Nope, I've never worked for M$, though they are said to treat their employees well - they're at the wrong end of country anyway.

[mwood_2k2]

Thanx dannys,

I don't care I'm not in a rush to do anything further yet, whenever u feel like messing around with it pop me a private with code examples so I can repeat instances of it and configure it.

Your help so far has been much appreciated! =]

[mwood_2k2]

Dannys,

I need your help again.....I tried to make a tag of my own, by making a line break as [break], and having the start as <b and the end as r>, but it didn't work....it just displayed my tag as text.

How do I do tags that are single? is there any different technique to it?

Cheers =]

[dannys]

You have to use both the start and end tags in the text. [break] won't work [break][/break] should.

[mwood_2k2]

Ok, so if I were to start = [bre and end = ak] would that work? lol

No that wont work will it, never mind lol. I'll just do a paragraph start = [p] end = [/p]

[mwood_2k2]

Ok now Dannys, how can I impliment something equal to a br tag? any hacks or tricks up your sleeve? lol.

// in dannys code, just add this //
$tagList['br']=Array('start'=>'<br','end'='>'');
