BB code problem

VooDooRT

For the life of me, I CAN'T get this to work, it's seriously getting old messing with these three lines over and over again.

Help?

$a = array(">", "<", "[b]", "[/b]", "[i]", "[/i]", "[center]", "[/center]", "[u]", "[/u]", "[link=(.*?)](.*?)[/link]", "[img](.*?)[/img]");
$b = array("&gt;", "&lt;", "<b>", "</b>", "<i>", "</i>", "<center>", "</center>", "<u>", "</u>", "<a href=$1>$2</a>", "<img src=$1>");
$post= str_replace($a,$b,$post);

Everything on this works AWESOME except the two most important ones, the IMG and LINK.

thoughts?

Try using ereg_replace.

no dice...didn't work

str_replace is just a basic string replace function .. you can't use rules with it like you can with ereg_replace() or preg_replace().

$post = preg_replace("/\[img\](.*?)\[\/img\]/si", "<img src=\"\\1\" border=\"0\">", $post);
$post = preg_replace("/\[link=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/link\]/si", "<a href=\"\\1\">\\2</a>", $post);

http://www.php.net/ereg_replace

they have a cut and paste regex there for links

also you might to well to look into http://pear.php.net they have a stack based bb code parser already written

Ok, this is working fine:

$report = ereg_replace("[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]", "<a href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $report);

But is there anyway to convert that to accept the following format:

[link=http://www.fuziontek.com]FuzionTEK[/link]

And then be able to convert it back?

I'm not so good with ereg_replace, so I'm at a bit of a loss...I've never had to deal with it before...ugh

anyone?

Anyone? please. I would think it'd be easy, but I seriously eat butt at REPLACE statements. I can't ever get the exact coding down.

Can't tell for sure because this bulletin board software likes to mangle regexps, but you did remember to escape the [] characters with [/b], didn't you? Having special meanings in regexps, they need it if you want them to just mean themselves.

PS. Bumping is considered rude, and a fairly good way of getting yourself ignored in the future.

VooDooRT

I'm not really sure how to even begin writing the statement...I'm so lost on this, it's making my head hurt.

I'm terribly sorry for all the bumping, but I'm really desperate to get this working. It's been a big problem in my coding for a couple weeks now...I certainly don't mean to be rude...
