Re: Re: BBCode?

Thanks, but that doesn't allow nested tags (a [b] tag inside of an [i] tag, for example).

Try this: <? function format_text($text) {

    $open="\\[";
    $close="\\]";

$pattern=$open."(.)".$close."([^".$open."]+)".$open."/"."(.)".$close;

    $temp = $text;
    $text = ereg_replace($pattern,'<\1>\2</\3>',$text);

    while($temp != $text)
    {
        $temp = $text;
        $text = ereg_replace($pattern,'<\1>\2</\3>',$text);
    }

    return $text;

} print format_text('[i] this is a [b]bold[/b] test [/i]'); ?> -- Kyle Gibson admin(at)frozenonline.com http://www.frozenonline.com/
