bbcode

I have this bbcode: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1bIEK1h150]If I offer you my soul[/url] for example. How can I turn this into this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1bIEK1h150" target="_blank">If I offer you my soul</a> You need a regular expression. Taking into account that bbcode can have a text URL or only the URL, you will need two statements: $message = preg_replace('@\[url=([^]]*)\]([^[]*)\[/url\]@', '<a href="$1">$2</a>', $message); $message = preg_replace('@\[url\]([^[]*)\[/url\]@', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $message); Also, if you're parsing bbcode from PHPBB, it can

I have this function to parse bbcode -> html: $this->text = preg_replace(array( '/\[b\](.*?)\[\/b\]/ms', '/\[i\](.*?)\[\/i\]/ms', '/\[u\](.*?)\[\/u\]/ms', '/\[img\](.*?)\[\/img\]/ms', '/\[email\](.*?)\[\/email\]/ms', '/\[url\="?(.*?)"?\](.*?)\[\/url\]/ms', '/\[size\="?(.*?)"?\](.*?)\[\/size\]/ms', '/\[youtube\](.*?)\[\/youtube\]/ms', '/\[color\="?(.*?)"?\](.*?)\[\/color\]/ms', '/\[quote](.*?)\[\/quote\]/ms', '/\[list\=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/list\]/ms', '/\[list\](.*?)\[\/list\]/ms', '/\[\*\]\s?(.*?)\n/ms' ),array( '<strong>\1</strong>', '<em>\1</em>', '<u>\1</u>', '<img src="\1" alt="\1" />', '<a

I'm working on some BBcode for my website. I've managed to get most of the codes working perfectly, however the [QUOTE] tag is giving me some grief. When I get something like this: [QUOTE=1] [QUOTE=2] This is a quote from someone else [/QUOTE] This is someone else quoting someone else [/QUOTE] It will return: > 1 said: [QUOTE=2]This is a quote from > someone else This is someone else quoting someone else[/QUOTE] So what is happening is the [/quote] from the nested quote is closing the quote block. The Regex I am using is: "[quote=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/quote\]'is" How can I make it so nested Quotes

I have this piece of code: var s_1 = 'blabla [size=42]the answer[/size] bla bla blupblub'; var s_2 = 'blabla [size=42]the answer[/size] bla bla blupblub [size=32] 32 [/size]'; alert('Test-String:\n' + s_1 + '\n\nReplaced:\n' + size(s_1)); alert('Test-String:\n' + s_2 + '\n\nReplaced:\n' + size(s_2)); function size(s) { var reg = /\[size=(\d{1,2})\]([\u0000-\uFFFF]+)\[\/size\]/gi; s = s.replace(reg, function(match, p1, p2) { return '<span style="font-size: ' + ((parseInt(p1) > 48) ? '48' : p1) + 'px;">' + p2 + '</span>'; }) return s; } It's supposed to replace all occurrences of the "[size=nn][

I've got a situation where the client is using php4 and doesn't look like they have PEAR. Is there an established PHP BBCode parser that will work with vBulletin's BBCode system? I just need to convert the BBCode to HTML. This is a data migration from vBulletin to a new platform, so I can't use vBulletin's BBCode parser. Docs: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode Here's one on HotScripts.com. Update to respond to the criticism (entered three years after you accepted this answer) that this didn't contain enough content directly in the post. The name of the script is currently
