Smilies, UBB code, converting http://'s into links

[DoD]

Im currently developing my own news script since all the ones i found suck, and now all thats left is to get: Smilies, BB code (like [img]) and auto links sorted...

Does anyone know any suitable methlods or codes?

The only other thing i really need to know apart from smilie code, is the links. Making it so, for example, it replaces [url]http://[/url] with

<a href='

and at the end of the word, it closes it with

' target='_blank'>

Any ideas???

Eyz,

I made a function that replaces the users input..

 function replace ($bericht) {
$replace = array (
 "<" => "&lt;",
 ">" => "&gt;",
 ":P" => "<img src=\"smilies/wink.gif\" alt=\"wink\">",
 ":S" => "<img src=\"smilies/retarded.png\" alt=\"retarded\">",
 "[bold]" => "<b>",
"[/bold]" => "</b>",
 "[italic]" => "<i>",
 "[/italic]" => "<i>",
);
$search = array_keys ($replace);
$replace = array_values ($replace);
$bericht = str_replace ($search, $replace, $bericht);
return $bericht;
}  

I hope this helped you out a bit.

Dont save it using this, but only use this to display it. i.e. store as : ) and keep as : ) until 🙂 is needed.

Oh, like store it has :] in the database and do 🙂 in the retriving of the text from the databse...good idea!
