BBCode

[Fireballchad]

Ok well I managed to get Bloodrun's forum to allow bbcode in post also.

PHP Code:

$a_answer=$_POST['a_answer'];
     // CONVERT ALL HTML SPECIAL CHARS TO THERE ENTITIES
        $a_answer = htmlentities($a_answer, ENT_QUOTES);
        
        // PARSE BB CODE
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[b\](.+?)\[\/b\]|i', '<strong>$1</strong>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[i\](.+?)\[\/i\]|i', '<em>$1</em>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[u\](.+?)\[\/u\]|i', '<u>$1</u>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[img\](.+?)\[\/img\]|i', '<img src=$1>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[url=(.+?)\](.+?)\[\/url\]|i', '<a href=$1>$2</a>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[color=(.+?[^;])\](.+?)\[\/color\]|i', '<span style="color:$1;">$2</span>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[size=(.+?[^;])\](.+?)\[\/size\]|i', '<span style="font-size:$1;">$2</span>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[left\](.+?)\[\/left\]|i', '<span style="text-align: left;">$1</span>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[right\](.+?)\[\/right\]|i', '<span style="text-align: right;">$1</span>', $a_answer);
        $a_answer = preg_replace('|\[center\](.+?)\[\/center\]|i', '<center>$1</center>', $a_answer);
        
$a_answer = mysql_real_escape_string($a_answer); 


Thats how I managed to do it. First of all is it secure, secondly how do I make it change back to bbcode when you want to edit it? Right now it converts it to HTML and then when you go to edit your post or sig it is now HTML and not BBCode that you originally typed it in.

Well with the release of the next one, that problem is solved. The only thing it won't yet allow, is things like youtube videos.
