Some of the code above has gone weird when pasted into the code box, like

$replaced5 = str_replace("xx<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="">xx","<img src='http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/1016.gif'>", $replaced3);

it should be

$replaced5 = str_replace("xx🙂xx","<img src='http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/1016.gif'>", $replaced3);

That's why there are checkboxes labelled "Automatically parse URLs" and "Disable Smilies in This Post" below the textarea where you write your post.

Ok, I did that but still goes funny? :rolleyes:

I have tried to get that script above to work and it just wont output anything. :o I put an

echo ("$replaced20");

in the script at the bottom and Nothing came out. 😕

[justsomeone]

put a basic echo ("Hello world"); at the start.

If that appears, then you're halfway there. There's prolly a parse error somewhere in your code, and you prolly have error display turned off in your php.ini (good practice for a production server, not so good for a development environment).

on a side note. i notice your creating a new variable for each replaced string.

ie; $replaced6 goes into $replaced7, then $replaced7 into $replaced8.

there is no need to do that. one variable $replaced is all you need. so, its more like;

$replaced = str_replace("xUx","</i>", $replaced); 
$replaced = str_replace("x:Ux","<i>", $replaced); 
$replaced = str_replace("x_x","<u>", $replaced); 
$replaced = str_replace("x:_x","</u>", $replaced);

Ok, Thank You both. It works now! I don't know what i did but i fixed it... :bemused:

Now just my other problem with the Not loading .txt files on a webserver ( In another thread)

Thanks again,

MickyG

And did you fix the text of your post to take the changes out?

[MickyG]

I think so! 😉
