MEMBER= bbcode

Dillenger

Hey, can anyone help me with a str_replace for this tag?

[MEMBER=Username]

The problem i'm having, is there is no closing tag, so how would i get this to display like this?

<a href=forum.php?memberID=1>Username</a>

this is my code so far, but it totall doesn't work:

$patterns[0] = '[MEMBER=';
				$patterns[1] = '(.*?)';
				$patterns[2] = ']';

			$replacements[0] = '<a href=forum.php?level=members&memberUserName=';
			$replacements[1] = '\\1';
			$result5 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE memberUserName = '$replacements[1]'");
			$rows = mysql_fetch_array($result5);
		 	$memberUserName = $rows['memberUserName'];

			$replacements[2] = '>$memberUserName</a>';

Umm, it's just a simple eregi_replace():

<?php
$some_file_name = "path/to/file.html";

$member_pattern = "^\\[MEMBER=[a-zA-Z0-9](.*)?\\]$";

// You need to read the contents of the file
$contents = file_get_contents($some_file_name);
// We're going to find all occurences of the [MEMBER=*] BBCode.
// And take the member names and get them in an array.
for($i==1; $i<=substr_count($contents, eregi($member_pattern)); $i++)
{
    $member[$i] = substr($members, 8, -1);
}

for($k=1; $k<count($member); $k++)
{
    $query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE memberUserName = '".$member[$i]."'";
    $result5 = mysql_query($query);
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result5))
    {
        $member_replace = '<a href=forum.php?level=members&memberUserName='.$row['memberUserName'].'>'.$row['memberUserName'].'</a>';

    $contents = eregi_replace("[MEMBER=".$member[$i]."]", $member_replace);
}
}

echo $contents;
?>

Hope that helps.

The pattern is actually this:
"^{[MEMBER=a-zA-Z0-9?]$"}
The PHP BBCode tag for some odd reason removes the slashes.

That didn't really work for me, i odn't know why, maybe I was doing something wrong, but anyhow, here is my current code now, everything works except for the MEMBER one:

$bbcode = array("[QUOTE ]", "[/QUOTE ]", "[IMG]", "[/IMG]","[ ","] ","URL=","/URL","MAIL=","/MAIL");
  				$htmlcode = array("<div id=quote>", "</div>", "<img src=\"", "\">","<",">","a href=","/a","a href=mailto:","/a"); 
				$commentName = str_replace( $bbcode, $htmlcode, $commentName);


			$bbcode = array("<MEMBER=", "(.+)");
			$htmlcode = array("<a href=forum.php?level=members&memberUsername=", "\\1"); 
			$commentName = str_replace( $bbcode, $htmlcode, $commentName);

Solved the problem. Basically I sat down with the phpBB BBCode sources, and figured out what was going on. Here's what I came up with:

<?php
<?php
$filename = 'test.html';
$file = fread(fopen($filename, 'r'), filesize($filename));

$link = '<a href="forum.php?level=members&memberUserName={USERNAME}">{USERNAME}</a>';

$member_pattern = '/\[MEMBER=(.*?)\]/si';

$contents = " ".$file;

$link = str_replace('{USERNAME}', '\\1', $link);

$contents = preg_replace($member_pattern, $link, $contents);

echo $contents;
?>

No mySQL involved. It's a simple search and replace. Hope that's what you were looking for. I'm sure with this base, you can add what you want/need.

The code for that page is:

<html>
<body>
This is going to be some basic tag information.  Member: [MEMBER=Brett_Patterson].<br />
Member: [MEMBER=Joe User]<br />
Member: [MEMBER=Brett]
</body>
</html>

I wonder why it works for you and not for me, here is my modified code:

$link = '<a href="forum.php?level=members&memberUserName={USERNAME}">{USERNAME}</a>';

			$member_pattern = '[MEMBER=(.*?)]';

			$link = str_replace('{USERNAME}', '\1', $link);
			echo "$link";
			$commentName = preg_replace($member_pattern, $link, $commentName);

I get this result:

[<a href="forum.php?level=members&memberUserName="></a>Dillenger]

I removed the si at the end, because when i had it in, it was cutting off two of my letters.

Interesting. Try modifying your $member_pattern to be:

$member_pattern = '/[MEMBER=(.*?)]/si';

That should work.

I'm sorry, but the [php][/php] tags just stripslashes, so the pattern should have looked as above, and I didn't check it. It should work for you as above, if you include the "si" and everything.
