I've been playing with the BBCode Parser from the tutorial here on this board.

It's worked great, but one thing I've always tried to figure out is how to get it to parse an http:// address to a link without the person putting the [url="http://%20tags.Well,%20I%20think%20I've%20got%20it,%20but%20it%20doesn't%20quite%20STOP%20where%20I%20want%20it%20to.

$url%20=%20"http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

function%20BBCode%20($string)%20{
global%20$url;
$search%20=%20array(
	'@\[(?i)b\](.*?)\[/(?i)b\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)i\](.*?)\[/(?i)i\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)u\](.*?)\[/(?i)u\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)size=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/(?i)size\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/(?i)color\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)center\](.*?)\[/(?i)center\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)left\](.*?)\[/(?i)left\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)right\](.*?)\[/(?i)right\]@si',
	'@\[img\](.*?)\[/img\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/(?i)url\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)url\](.*?)\[/(?i)url\]@si',
	[u][b]'@^(?:http://)?([^/]+)@i',[/b][/u]
	'@\[(?i)bbcode\]@si'
);
$replace%20=%20array(
	'<b>\\1</b>',
	'<i>\\1</i>',
	'<u>\\1</u>',
	'<font%20style="font-size:%20\\1em;">\\2</font>',
	'<font%20style="color:%20\\1;">\\2</font>',
	'<center>\\1</center>',
	'<p%20style="text-align:%20left;">\\1</p>',
	'<p%20style="text-align:%20right;">\\1</p>',
	'<img%20src="\\1"%20border="0"%20alt="User%20Image"%20/>',
	'<a%20href="'.$url.'/redirect.php?url=\\1"%20target="_blank">\\2</a>',
	'<a%20href="'.$url.'/redirect.php?url=\\1"%20target="_blank">\\1</a>',
	[u][b]'<a%20href="'.$url.'/redirect.php?url=\\1"%20target="_blank">http://\\1</a>',[/b][/u]
);
return%20preg_replace($search%20,%20$replace,%20$string);
}

if%20(isset($_POST['submit']))%20{
	$data_translated%20=%20BBCode(nl2br(htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['data'])))));
	$pre_data%20=%20$_POST['data'];
	unset($_POST['data']);
}

I%20bold%20and%20underlined%20the%202%20main%20parts.%20it%20seems%20to%20be%20adding%20a%20space%20and%20part%20of%20a%20<br%20/>%20to%20the%20link

Well, I think I've got it, but it doesn't quite STOP where I want it to.

$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

function BBCode ($string) {
global $url;
$search = array(
	'@\[(?i)b\](.*?)\[/(?i)b\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)i\](.*?)\[/(?i)i\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)u\](.*?)\[/(?i)u\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)size=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/(?i)size\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/(?i)color\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)center\](.*?)\[/(?i)center\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)left\](.*?)\[/(?i)left\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)right\](.*?)\[/(?i)right\]@si',
	'@\[img\](.*?)\[/img\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/(?i)url\]@si',
	'@\[(?i)url\](.*?)\[/(?i)url\]@si',
	[u][b]'@^(?:http://)?([^/]+)@i',[/b][/u]
	'@\[(?i)bbcode\]@si'
);
$replace = array(
	'<b>\\1</b>',
	'<i>\\1</i>',
	'<u>\\1</u>',
	'<font style="font-size: \\1em;">\\2</font>',
	'<font style="color: \\1;">\\2</font>',
	'<center>\\1</center>',
	'<p style="text-align: left;">\\1</p>',
	'<p style="text-align: right;">\\1</p>',
	'<img src="\\1" border="0" alt="User Image" />',
	'<a href="'.$url.'/redirect.php?url=\\1" target="_blank">\\2</a>',
	'<a href="'.$url.'/redirect.php?url=\\1" target="_blank">\\1</a>',
	[u][b]'<a href="'.$url.'/redirect.php?url=\\1" target="_blank">http://\\1</a>',[/b][/u]
);
return preg_replace($search , $replace, $string);
}

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	$data_translated = BBCode(nl2br(htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['data'])))));
	$pre_data = $_POST['data'];
	unset($_POST['data']);
}

I bold and underlined the 2 main parts. it seems to be adding a space and part of a <br /> to the link


P.S. [url="http://www.spatialvisionary.com"]http://www.spatialvisionary.com[/url] there's the working page.

[Mr. Matt]

just a tip, with this line of code:

BBCode(nl2br(htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['data'])))));

you dont need htmlspecialchars() AND strip_tags(). htmlspecialchars will turn > into &lt;, so there will be no tags that need to be stripped, either one of them will do really. But use addslashes() which cancles out any quotes when inputting data by a form.

thanks.

I suppose I should remove the stripslashes too?

[Mr. Matt]

if that bit of code is used for entering data to the db then you really only need:

BBCode(htmlspecialchars(addslashes($_POST['data'])));

stripslahes() is used to take away any '/' put infront of quotes when pulling stuff out of the db, i changed it to addslahes() which i explained b4.

i tend to use the nl2br() when i pull data from the database, i guess you can keep that, but i tend to put it on when stuff comes out

and just removed the strip_tags() as not really needed

cool, thanks.

I made a few of those adjustments and think I've come up with a fix, at least better than it was.

'@^(?:http://)?([^ ]+)@i'

user will still have to put a space after the address for the bbcode function to translate right, but it's better than it was.
