convert bbcode to html

[glennn]

i'm learning php and need to strip all the bbcode from a guestbook entry before it's posted to a flat file - i had one snippet, a small one, but i couldn't make it work wherever i put it in the script...

my write function is
[php]
$Input = "$message";

/* This combines the new data (the html code from above) with the old data (what was already in the .txt file. */
$New = "$Input";

/* This writes everything to the .txt file and then closes up the script. */
$filename = "caption.txt";
$fp = fopen( $filename,"w");
fwrite($fp, $New, 80000);
fclose( $fp );

[/php]

if you could tell me where the strip function needs to be placed, also...
thanks whoever can help...

if u want to change the bbcode into html... this should fix your problem :

[php]

/*This will change the [b] into <b> */
$message=eregi_replace("\[B\]","<B>","$message");

/*This will change the [/b] into </b> */
$message=eregi_replace("\[/B\]","</B>","$message");


$Input = "$message";

/* This combines the new data (the html code from above) with the old data (what was already in the .txt file. */
$New = "$Input";

/* This writes everything to the .txt file and then closes up the script. */
$filename = "caption.txt";
$fp = fopen( $filename,"w");
fwrite($fp, $New, 80000);
fclose( $fp );

[/php]

Some adittional convertions:

Code: Select all

<?
$str = "Hello [color=cc3300]big [b]phpbrother[/b] this [u]is a[/u] fancy [i]test[/i][/color]";

//color convert
$str = str_replace("[color", "<font color", $str);
$str = str_replace("[/color]", "</font>", $str);

//bold,underline,italis convert
$str = str_replace("]", ">", $str);
$str = str_replace("[", "<", $str);

?>
