Hi

A few of you might know about my SBB forum software which I am making. Well, simply put, is there an easy way I can make my own bbcode with a simple WYSIWYG editor type thing (not important, could be just input buttons which when pressed enters part of a bbcode into the text box)?

I have a static method; found on the internet:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 



function smilies($text){

    

     $smilies['plaintext'] = array(":)",":D",":(");

     $smilies['htmltext'] = array("<img src='happy.png'>","<img src='grin.png'>","<img src='sad.png'>");

     

     $text = str_replace($smilies['plaintext'],

     $smilies['htmltext'],$text);

     

     return $text; }

     

    echo smilies("Hello bob :) :D "); 

      

    ?>

Could I just run this function through the mysql query?

Also could someone tell me how I would use the function nl2br to make it so that when the user makes a new line in the text box it puts a <br / > tag there?

Gareth.
