[RESOLVED] bbcode for quote?

jasondavis

On my forums I am trying to add a quotes user feature so that it will parse this to the page when bbcode is used like this

[QUOTE=username] text here [/QUOTE]

will output this

<div class="Quote_User" style="margin-bottom: 5px;">
			  <b><a href="?p=profile&userid=1">USERNAME</a> wrote:</b> <br>
			  <div style="padding-top: 5px;"></div><i>TEXT HERE</i></div>

This is a good BBCode Class, written by a german php coder.
With many nice features to use your own BBCode.

If you download, take stringparser_bbcode-0.3.1.tar.gz
I had an issue with the ZIP version. But tar.gz ( or the tar.bz2 ) is alright.

Class that parses BBCodes for PHP

The documentation is extremely detailed!

Ok I have it working now, not sure if it is the best syntax for it but it works

    $QuoteLayout = '<div class="Quote_User" style="margin-bottom: 5px;">
	<b>$1 wrote:</b> <br>
	 <div style="padding-top: 5px;"></div><i>$2</i></div>';
    // Check for [code] text
    $reply = preg_replace("/\[QUOTE=(.+?)\](.+?)\[\/QUOTE\]/is","$QuoteLayout", $reply);
	echo $reply;

When I try to quote a post already quoted previous it will look like this

[QUOTE=JasonDavis][QUOTE=JasonDavis]You can now quote of forum post, its not 100% done but it works[/QUOTE]<br><br>test[/QUOTE]

how could I make it only do it 1 time?

here is the code I use on the form that creates this

if ($_GET['quote2'] == 1) {
	$sql = "select user_id,topic from friend_forum_topic where auto_id='$_GET[topic_id]'";
	$result = executeQuery($sql);
	if ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
		$name=show_user_name($line['user_id']);
		$text = "[QUOTE=$name]" .$line['topic']. "[/QUOTE]"."\n\n";
	}
}

Maybe somehow this code below could count the number of matches and if greater then 1, only use 1 of them?

$reply = preg_replace("/\[quote=(.+?)\](.+?)\[\/QUOTE\]/is","$QuoteLayout", $reply);

got it now the result

if ($_GET['quote2'] == 1) {
    $sql = "select user_id,topic from friend_forum_topic where auto_id='$_GET[topic_id]'";
    $result = executeQuery($sql);
    if ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
        $name=show_user_name($line['user_id']);
        $topic = $line['topic'];
        //if this post is already quoted, then we remove old quoted text
        $topic = preg_replace("/\[quote=(.+?)\](.+?)\[\/QUOTE\]/is","", $topic);
        $text = "[quote=$name]" .$topic. "[/quote]"."\n\n";
    }
}
