help with bbcode

[tbales]

im looking to put bbcodes in my site i dont have a script i was hoping for some assistance in finding one any installation instruction

A couple choices if you want to create your own implementation:

• bbcode PECL extension

• PEAR HTML_BBCodeParser package

i found this in my script to me it seems to be similar to a bbcode and i was woundering if it could be used that way? and if so can someone show me how to do so?

  $out = $buffer;
  $out = str_replace("<!_-money-_!>", $user_class->money, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-formhp-_!>", $user_class->formattedhp, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-hpperc-_!>", $user_class->hppercent, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-formenergy-_!>", $user_class->formattedenergy, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-energyperc-_!>", $user_class->energypercent, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-formawake-_!>", $user_class->formattedawake, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-awakeperc-_!>", $user_class->awakepercent, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-formnerve-_!>", $user_class->formattednerve, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-nerveperc-_!>", $user_class->nervepercent, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-points-_!>", $user_class->points, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-level-_!>", $user_class->level, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-hospital-_!>", $hospital, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-jail-_!>", $jail, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-mail-_!>", $mail, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-events-_!>", $events, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-effects-_!>", $effects, $out);
  $out = str_replace("<!_-cityname-_!>", $user_class->cityname, $out);

  return $out;
}

Something using str_replace() or preg_replace() could certainly do this, but it starts to get really hairy when you have nested tags, requiring some sort of recursive approach or such to untangle it.

No, I'm too lazy for that. Here's the simplest thing I could find after a bit of Googling, and offer absolutely zero guarantees as to whether or not it works or is secure: http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=77123. At least it should give you some idea of the scope and nature of the problem.

[NogDog]
