UBB code - font color (no css)

[Langridge]

I was wondering how you could change the color of text using the str_replace or eregi_replace commands. eg.

$info = str_replace("[color=","<font face=arial size=3 color=",$info) etc

so that when the user types {color=green}some text{/color} the "some text" will be green... (parenthesis = square brackets)

obviously the above code wont work...its just an example of what im wanting to do...

any thoughts on how i could do this, without using css??

thanks

I would think its a combination of eregi and either eregi_replace or str_replace

eregi to get ("[color=") and ([A-Za-z]*) into seperate variables
then the replace to replace those specifics with the html counterparts

Yeah I thought the same, still cant get it to work though 🙂
