Re: Converting HTML to BBCode

Hi Al, Thank you for your reply. I have changed my code to the following: -------CODE------- <?php $text = $_REQUEST['text']; echo '<br /><br />'; $translate_array = array( '<strong>' => '[b]', '</strong>' => '[/b]', '<b>' => '[b]', '</b>' => '[/b]', '<em>' => '[i]', '</em>' => '[/i]', '<i>' => '[i]', '</i>' => '[/i]', '<u>' => '[u]', '</u>' => '[/u]', '<a href="' => '[url=', '</a>' => '[/url]', '<img src="' => '[img]', ' border="0" />' => '[/img]', '<ol>' => '', '</ol>' => '', '<li>' => '[list]', '</li>' => '[/list]' ); $find_array= array_keys($translate_array); $replace_array= array_values($translate_array); $text= preg_replace($find_array, $replace_array, $text); // Line 41 echo '<textarea name="output">' . "$text" . '</textarea>'; ?> -------/CODE------- However, I get the following error appearing in between the two textareas: -------ERROR------- Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: No ending matching delimiter '>' found in /var/www/htdocs/file.php on line 41 Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: No ending matching delimiter '>' found in /var/www/htdocs/file.php on line 41 Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /var/www/htdocs/file.php on line 41 -------/ERROR------- Thanks for your help so far! It'd be great if this works out ;) Cheers, J_K9 > Here is an example for you. > First make an array like this: > > $translate_array= array( > ' & ' => ' &amp; ', > '"&"' => '"&amp;"', > 'W&OD' => 'W&amp;OD', > '&O' => '&amp;O', > 'M&F' => 'M&amp;F', > ); > > Then use: > > $find_array= array_keys($translate_array); > > $replace_array= array_values($translate_array); > > $text= preg_replace($find_array, $replace_array, $text); > //with preg_replace you can make the $find stuff case insensitive > > OR simply: > > $text= strtr($text, $translate_array); > > > >
