parsing text to display images (smilies)

[Anon]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to parse text to display images in the same way which forums do to display smilies, so that I can use a similar system in my simple forum code,
thanks in advance

$message = str_replace('🙂', '<IMG SRC="smile.gif">', $message);

that would change this:

Hello 🙂...

to this...

Hello <IMG SRC="smile.gif">...

Great! Thanks for your help 🙂

Note that that code will replace every occurence of 🙂.
so if you put:
"Seperate the words using a colin (🙂"

it will also put a smiley.
You can prevent this by requiring a space before and after the smily:
$message = str_replace(' 🙂 ', '<IMG SRC="smile.gif">', $message);

A forum, a FAQ, email notification, what else do you need?

thanks for the tip, is there anyway which I can add more images to replace the text? I can get just that one working fine, but I am unable to add any others,
thanks.
