Take a look at [man]str_replace[/man] An example

$image = "../img/emoticon.gif";
$code = ":)";
$string = str_replace($code, $image, $string);

Where ever 🙂 is seen ../img/emoticon.gif will replace it of course you will need to add the img tag as well.

ok that works great thanks but what would be the best way to add more then 1 would have to just make a new thing every time like this

$image = "<img src=\"../faces/smile.gif\">";
$code = ":)";
$body = str_replace($code, $image, body);

$image2 = "<img src=\"../faces/sad.gif\">";
$code2 = ":(";
$body = str_replace($code2, $image2, body);

Take a look at [man]str_replace[/man] again, and this time read it.

lol i never looked at it the first time im more of a hands on learner so if you give me the code i will remember how to do it if i ever need to again but i suppose i can read the page

[mrhappiness]

$array_1 = array('really', 'automatic', 'love');
$array_2 = array('do not take', 'manual', 'care in');
$string = 'I really love reading automatic pages';
$replaced_string = str_replace($array_1, $array_2, $string);
echo $replaced_string;

Considering how you didn't grasp the concept of what weedpacket posted as a solution to your problem, I suppose you would NOT remember how it works.

The manual is there not for nothing.
