bboard isn't that hard. Many people i know have wrote one for personal use. If you understand it, it's not that hard, just takes a long time because you don't have a team.

Here's what I use on my shoutbox:

PHP:

<?
function shoutCode($text) {
$text = preg_replace("#\[ b\ ](.+?)\[/b\]#si", "<b>\\1 </b>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ i\ ](.+?)\[/i\]#si", "<i>\\1 </i>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ u\ ](.+?)\[/u\]#si", "<u>\\1 </u>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ url\ ](.+?)\[/url\]#si", "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\1 </a>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ email\ ](.+?)\[/email\]#si", "<a href=\"mailto:\\1\">\\1 </a>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ url=(.+?)\ ](.+?)\[/url\]#si", "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\2 </a>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ email=(.+?)\ ](.+?)\[/email\]#si", "<a href=\"mailto:\\1\">\\2 </a>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ e-mail\ ](.+?)\[/e-mail\]#si", "<a href=\"mailto:\\1\">\\1 </a>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ e-mail=(.+?)\ ](.+?)\[/e-mail\]#si", "<a href=\"mailto:\\1\">\\2 </a>", $text);
$text = preg_replace("#\[ e-mail=\"(.+?)\"\ ](.+?)\[/e-mail\]#si", "<a href=\"mailto:\\1\">\\2 </a>", $text);

return $text;
}
?>

I added spaces so they wouldn't be parsed. Stupid vB.

Yep, it's not hard to write a forum, it can be done with some basicPHP understanding, but extremely time consuming for one person to do.

Yeah, I see a simple forum like a guestbook and a shoutbox.
I hope soon when I finish my web make a forum with flat files and maybe mySQL.

I agree with Oxy... it's not hard at all if you know basic PHP, but very time consuming, just writing my shoutbox took days.

hmmmmmmmmm, one question about this...

i convert BBcode like this:

PHP:

<?
###################### start BB code replace ################

$bbcode = array ("[ b]",
                                 "[ /b]",
                                 "[ i]",
                                 "[ /i]",
                                 "[ u]",
                                 "[ /u]",
                                 "[ list]",
                                 "[ /list]");

$html = array ("<b>",
                             "</b>",
                             "<i>",
                             "</i>",
                             "<u>",
                             "</u>",
                             "<li>",
                             "</li>");

$str = str_replace($bbcode, $html, $str);

echo $str;
?>

now is that code no good compared to CDude's code up top? tho i know i need to use the preg_replace() method for things like urls and emails.

vBulletin and any of the other high-end BBs are actually VERY easy to code. A lot of people get discouraged because of the amount of time, and maybe one or two "bumps" along the way, which are actually very easy to sort out. For example, user online/offline script. Seriously, took me a minute to write mine. Figured out a simple equation in my head, then put it as PHP. But so many poeple have problems with them. bup

Re: If you'd like to have BBcode on your shoutbox.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by CDude [/i]
$bold = '/(\[B\])(.+)(\[\/B\])/';
$italic = '/(\[I\])(.+)(\[\/I\])/';

$str = preg_replace($bold,'<b>\\2</b>',$str);
$str = preg_replace($italic,'<i>\\2</i>',$str);
print $str;
[/QUOTE]


That's nice :) but what if i use newline? like
[ b] text text
text
text
[/b]

????

btw i've recode the code to this...

[php]$str = preg_replace("/(\[(b|B)\])(.+)(\[\/(b|B)\])/","<b>\\3</b>",$str);[/php]
