how would i add smilies support to my guestbook?
$outputstring = str_replace ( ": )", "<img src=\"images/smiles/1.gif\">", $outputstring);
thats the code i tried
$outputstring is where all the info is stored such as name, email, homepage, location, message
$outputstring is then stored into a text file which is shown as the guestbook entries
why wont the smilies work?
note* i know there is a gap in.. ": )" thats because wen i posted it it was changing the code
Show us the contents of $outputstring.
$outputstring = "<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Name: <a href=mailto:$email>".$name."</a></font>\n<br><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Date: ".$date."</font>\n";
if ($location)
$outputstring .="<br><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Location: ".$location."</font>\n";
if ($homepage)
if (strpos($homepage, "://") === false)
$homepage = "http://".$homepage;
$outputstring .= "<br><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Homepage: <a href=$homepage target=\"_blank\">".$homepage."</a></font>\n</p>";
$outputstring .= "<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">".$message."\n\n</font></p><img src=\"images/seperator.gif\">";
$outputstring .= implode("", file("data.txt"));
Are there some 'smiley' characters in data.txt?
yeh there is
Well your str_replace() function call is fine. There must be a problem in data.txt?
i aint sure but it definetly doesnt want to work :s
an example of data.txt
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Name: <a href=mailto:forc3r@hormail.com>forcer</a></font>
<br><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Date: 13:35, 10th December</font>
<br><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Location: hartlepool</font>
<br><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Homepage: <a href=http://www.digitalbreeze.net target="_blank">[url]http://www.digitalbreeze.net[/url]</a></font>
</p><p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">: )</font></p>
<img src="images/seperator.gif">Might be something to do with newlines, or whitespace, hard to say. Try
$outputstring = preg_replace("/:\\)/si", "<img src=\"foobar.gif\">", $outputstring);
preg_replace is probably a better function anyway because you can do things like:
$patterns = array("/:\\)/si", "/:\\(/si" );
$replaces = array("<img src=\"1.gif\">", "<img src=\"2.gif\">" );
$outputstring = preg_replace($patterns, $replaces, $outputstring);
echo $outputstring;
