HTML -> BBcode

[mserms]

I'm using this class for creating BBCode - http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/951.html

Anyone know of anything similar to convert BBCode back to HTML?

[astericks]

to convert bbcode abck to html, just use a series of str_replace and preg_replace

e.g

//bold
str_replace("[*b*]","<*strong*>",$string);

//bold
str_replace("[*/b*]","<*/strong*>",$string); 

without the *

and so on.

use preg_replace for [URL] tags

found something for ya:

[php]<?php
function parsebbcode($message) {
$message = stripslashes($message);
$message = htmlspecialchars($message, ENT_QUOTES);
/* [quote] */
$message = str_replace ("

","<blockquote><span style=\"font-size : small;\">quote/span><hr />",$message);
$message = str_replace ("

","<hr /></blockquote>",$message);
/* [img] */
$message = str_replace ("[IMG]","<img src=\"", $message);
$message = str_replace ("[/IMG]","\" border=\"0\">",$message);
/* [b] */
$message = str_replace ("","<b>",$message);
$message = str_replace ("","</b>",$message);
/* [i] */
$message = str_replace ("","<i>",$message);
$message = str_replace ("","</i>",$message);
/* [u] */
$message = str_replace ("","<u>",$message);
$message = str_replace ("","</u>",$message);
/* [ul] [li] */
$message = str_replace ("[ul]","<ul>",$message);
$message = str_replace ("[/ul]","</ul>",$message);
$message = str_replace ("[li]","<li>",$message);
$message = str_replace ("[/li]","</li>",$message);
/* [center] */
$message = str_replace ("

","<div align=\"center\">",$message);
$message = str_replace ("

","</div>",$message);
/* [code] */
$message = str_replace ("

","<blockquote><pre>\n",$message);
	$message = str_replace ("

","</pre></blockquote>\n",$message);
/* [\\] Zeilenumbruch in [code] */
$message = str_replace ("[\\\\]",'\\\\'."\n",$message);
/* automatische Linkgenerierung */
$message = preg_replace ("{(^|[^\"=]{1})(http://|ftp://|mailto:|news([^\s<>]+)([\s\n<>]|$)}sm", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\\3\" target=\"_blank\">\\2\\3</a>\\4", $message);
/* [url] */
$message = preg_replace ("{(\[URL\])([A-Za-z0-9_~&=;\?:%@#./\-]+[A-Za-z0-9/])}si", "<a href=\"http://\\2\" target=\"_blank\">\\2", $message);
$message = preg_replace ("{(\+[A-Za-z0-9/])(\])}si", "<a href=\"\\2\" target=\"_blank\">", $message);
$message = str_replace ("", "</a>", $message);
/*

 */
//    $message = preg_replace_callback("#\[php\](.*)\[\/php\]#Usi","php_syntax", $message);
    
    /* [LIST] */
    $message = str_replace ("[LIST]", "<ul>", $message);
    $message = str_replace ("[/LIST]", "</ul>", $message);
    
    /*  */
    $message = str_replace ("[*]", "<li>", $message);
    $message = str_replace ("[/*]", "</li>", $message);
    
    /* nl2br() */
    $message = str_replace ("\n", "<br />", $message);

    
    return $message;
}
?> 

there are a feww characters missing since the browser is parsing them as html tags....just quote me and you'll have the right function.

Wow, these replies look great in Firebird..

[astericks]

not quote and reply, just quote so that you get all the text in my [*php] tags

Thanks guys. I actually ended up writing my own function to convert back to HTML. I really need to learn regular expressions...
