Well to start off PHP cannot do this..
SO javascript can do it.. You may wanna view the Source of VBulletin in add new post or newreply.. And take a look at all the Javascript..

Or you can learn from

http://www.w3schools.com

use replacement- or regex functions. example:

$source = '(b)Hello World(/b) :-)';
$output = $source;

// replace
$output = str_replace( '(b)', '<b>', $output );
$output = str_replace( '(/b)', '</b>', $output );
$output = str_replace( ':-)', '<img src="smiley.gif" height="16" width="16" alt="">', $output );

echo $output;

hehe you beat me to it by 10 seconds.

If a text box is called message, then you can do somethin like this:
$message = str_replace(":-)","<img src="/images/smile.gif",$message);
$message = str_replace("","<b>",$message);
and so on until you cover everything you want.
then echo $message.

heres a little javascript example. Unfortunately only works in IE 🙁

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="javascript">
function addtag(tag)
{
  var t = document.selection.createRange().text;
  document.form1.text1.focus();
  var t2 = document.selection.createRange();
  t2.text = "<" + tag + ">" + t + "</" + tag + ">";
  return;
}

function add(something)

{

  document.form1.text1.focus();
  var t = document.selection.createRange();
  t.text = something;
  return;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1">
<textarea name="text1" id="text1"></textarea>
  <br>
  <input name="bold" type="button" id="bold" value="Bold" onClick="addtag('b')">
  <input name="smiley" type="button" id="smiley" value=":-)" onClick="add(':-)')">
  <input name="smiley2" type="button" id="smiley2" value=":-(" onClick="add(':-(')">
  <input name="smiley3" type="button" id="smiley3" value=";-)" onClick="add(';-)')">
</form>
</body>
</html>
