preg_replace() is the key. Learning how to use it might be a pain though... but I've seen some tutorials around, search Google.

I've been using str_replace, and have errors with parsing it doesn't get parsed cause its already working on the client side by then.

EDIT: Also could you please explain to me why there are all those slashes.

Those slashes are to make the regex work I believe. Also you can't parse regex with str_replace(); and I would think regex is required for what your trying to do.

<?php signature(); ?>

Code:

function parse_bb ( $str )
{
$search = array
(
'#\[B\](.+?)\[\/B\]#is',
'#\[I\](.+?)\[\/I\]#is',
'#\[U\](.+?)\[\/U\]#is',
'#\[COLOR=([a-z0-9\#]+?)\](.+?)\[\/COLOR\]#mis',
);

$replace = array
(
'<strong>$1</strong>',
'<em>$1</em>',
'<span style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">$1</span>',
'<span style="color:$1">$2</span>',
);

return preg_replace ( $search, $replace, $str );
}

god damn vbb

Will that work with sumthin like.

Code:

<?
function parse_bb (file_get_contents("main.php"))
{
$search = array
(
'#\[B\](.+?)\[\/B\]#is',
'#\[I\](.+?)\[\/I\]#is',
'#\[U\](.+?)\[\/U\]#is',
'#\[COLOR=([a-z0-9\#]+?)\](.+?)\[\/COLOR\]#mis',
'#\[INC\](.+?)\[\/INC\]#is',
);

$replace = array
(
'<strong>$1</strong>',
'<em>$1</em>',
'<span style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">$1</span>',
'<span style="color:$1">$2</span>',
'inlcude($1)',
);

return preg_replace ( $search, $replace, file_get_contents("main.php"));
}
?>

So main.php would be the database driven site. So would it still parse it if it came out of a database.
