allow some html..

[inkfish]

Hello, what is wrong with this (THE @ is supposed to be [ and ]:

function NewsOutputText($text) {
  		$text = stripslashes($text); 
   	$text = htmlentities($text); 

	$text = str_replace('@\b@', '<b>', $text); 
	$text = str_replace('@\/b@', '</b>', $text); 

	$text = str_replace('@\i@', '<i>', $text);
	$text = str_replace('@\/i@', '</i>', $text);

	$text = str_replace('@\u@', '<u>', $text);
	$text = str_replace('@\/u@', '</u>', $text);

	$text = nl2br($text);
return $text; 
}

If i write @@ it apears as @@ and not like Something like it should.

instead of using all of that, why not just use:

$string = strip_tags($string, '<b><i><u>');

just replace $string with the name of the form field. ex: <input type=text name=message>

therefore you would put this in your action page:

$message = strip_tags($message, '<b><i><u>');

then it will strip ALL tags in ALL languages except for bold, italic and underline.

Okey worked great, but what if i want the html to be shown but not just used. =)

My first question im gonna ask you inkfish, is why do you want lets say <b> shown. Now i dont see why ud want to.. Secondly you can do it but <b> aint gonna work you'd need to replace < with &lt; and > with &gt;

if u wanted html to be shown and not used you would have to replace '<' with &lt; and > with &gt;

the reason why I want them to be shown is very simple, if you want to show someone how they do something in HTML.
