check.php

Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['textarea1'])) {
$value = $_POST['textarea1'];
include "bb.php";
echo bb($value);
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

bb.php

Code:

<?php
function bb($elem) {
while(substr_count($elem, '[red]') > 0 and substr_count($elem, '[/red]') > 0) {
$elem = preg_replace('[red]', '<span style="color:red">', $elem, 1); 
$elem = preg_replace('[/red]', ',</span>', $elem, 1); 
}
return $elem; 
}
?>

$_POST['textarea1'] is [red]hello[/red]

it outputs

[]hello[,]

when I would like it to output

hello

any help?

PHP Code:


<?php
$bbtext = "try [red]something[/red] like this";
$find = '#(\[red\])(.*)(\[/red\])#ui':
$replace = '<span style="color: red;">$2</span>';
print preg_replace( $find,$replace,$bbtext );

Is there any way to adapt that to work like this -

PHP Code:


        $find[0] = '#(\[b\])(.*)(\[/b\])#ui';

        $find[1] = '#(\[i\])(.*)(\[/i\])#ui';

        $replace[0] = '<b>$2</b>';

        $replace[1] = '<i>$2</i>';

for ($counter1 = 0; $counter1 <= count($shortcut); $counter1 += 1) {

    $text = preg_replace($find[$counter1],$replace[$counter1],$text); 

}

Don't need a loop - preg_replace can take arrays as its arguments.

RocketTheme's RokCandy is on GPL licence, so you could pick that apart and work out the best way to get BBCode style functionality for a lot more complex things than bold and italic.

Thanks Traq!

Also, Apache Tech, I mentioned ealier in the thread that I only want s few basic bbcodes, not all of them - that's why I'm doing it this way...
