BBCode Problem

[Moh]

Well, this is reverse BBCode

For my reverse BBCode code, I have the following:

function reversebb($string)
{
$bbcode = array('[b]\\1[/b]',
'[strike]\\1[/strike]',
'[u]\\1[/u]',
'[color=\\1]\\2[/color]',
':heart:',
':diamond:',
':club:',
':spade:',
':tm:',
'(l)',
'[i]\\1[/i]',);

$replace = array("'<b>(.*?)</b>'",
"'<strike>(.*?)</strike>'",
"'<u>(.*?)</u>'",
"'<font color=\"(.*?)\">(.*?)</font>'",
"'&hearts;'",
"'&diams;'",
"'&clubs;'",
"'&spades;'",
"'&trade;'",
"'<img src=\"images/(l).gif\">'",
"'<i>(.*?)</i>'",);

$string = preg_replace($replace, $bbcode, $string);

$string = str_replace("\n", "", $string);

$string = str_replace("<br />\n", "\n", $string);

$string = str_replace("<br />", "", $string);

return $string;

} 

But, If $string is "<img src="images/(l).gif">", it dosn't display "(l)", it just displays "<img src="images/(l).gif">".

Can anyone see whats wrong?

Yeah what the hell are you trying to do?

(l)? As the BBcode? It's trying to match (l) and replace it into <img src="images/(l)">

What exactly do you want it to do?

For one you are not defining a variable in the search, nor the replace.

Well, if your message is "Hey There (l)" it will insert it into the database like "Hey There <img src="images/(l).gif">".

But for you to edit your comment, I want it to display as (l) again.

All the other reversebb works such as [color] etc.. just not this one :S

So its reversing BBCode.

[Dentafrice]

try this

'<img src=\"images/(l).gif\">'

instead of "'<img src=\"images/(l).gif\">'"

[Moh]

try this

'<img src=\"images/(l).gif\">'

instead of "'<img src=\"images/(l).gif\">'"

Nope

This may be a stupid question to ask, but what is l.gif?

Also, make sure that your editor isn't changing the brackets to the special character code

[Dentafrice]

is it being stored on the server with slashes, etc?

on msn type in (l)

is it being stored on the server with slashes, etc?

That was the second thing I checked

In the database, its storing it as <img src="images/(l).gif">

[Agnostic Bear]

"'<img src=\"images/(l).gif\">'" 

try this:

'#<img src="images/(l).gif">#i', 

But no " ".

Alternatively just parse bbcode on display, much easier.
