php smilie code check by stoshrocket on 12-24-2005 at 02:45 PM
ok, im crap at php, but give me a chance, atleast ive tried ok, this code is meant to replace smilie symbols with the image of the smilie, but when uploaded the whole page just gives me
'Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/skarz/public_html/methos2/test/index.php on line 19'
the code is as follows, it is included in the <head> tag and it starts from line 17 where <?php is...
code:
<?php
$text = str_replace("", "<img alt="smiley" src='smilies/grin.gif' />",
str_replace("0
str_replace("", "<img alt="smiley" src='smilies/biggrin.gif' />",
rest of smilie code here, it takes too much room
$text);
?>
anyone see whats causing the error? thanks
RE: php smilie code check by user27089 on 12-24-2005 at 02:46 PM
str_replace("0Smilie", "<img alt="smiley" src='smilies/angel.gif' />",
it might be the "0" before the smilie...

nope, thats just the actual symbol that would trigger it to replace it with angel.gif, wouldnt it, hang on, ill bold the line its saying i have an error on...
RE: php smilie code check by Ezra on 12-24-2005 at 02:55 PM
cause you are using "" to enclose the strings and because you put "smiley" between them too it's not enclosed. I recommend using ' to enclose strings so you can use the " for html enclosing.
code:
$text = str_replace('
RE: php smilie code check by Stigmata on 12-24-2005 at 03:13 PM
code:
$text = preg_replace("", "<img alt='smiley' src='smilies/angel.gif' />", $text)
That will work perfectly.

* Plik pukes
i suggest you read up on the basic php syntax because what your trying to do is horibly wrong, but to get you started this should* work
code:If you are unsure about a function always refer to http://php.net
<?php
$smiley_list = array(":)", "0:)", ":D", the rest of the smilies);
$replacement_list = array('<img alt="smiley" src="smilies/grin.gif" />', '<img alt="smiley" src="smilies/angel.gif" />', '<img alt="smiley" src="smilies/biggrin.gif" />', The rest of the replacements here, using this format: '<img alt="alttext" src="location' />");
$text = str_replace($smiley_list, $replacement_list, $text);
?>
str_replace
also stiggys way works for each one
*i havnt tested it

it should not matter, you can place the php anywhere it will excute in the same way, you only really want php in a disired place where you want to php to display content using print or echo
(just an heads up php is not like javascript for stuff like this 
)

What he wants is for you to set $text to "hello test :[b][/b]o" then perform the replace and then echo $text and tell us what it outputs.
Also could you post your complete $smiley_list and $replacement_list, arrays? (the two limes that start with $smiley_list = Array, and $replacement_list = Array)
RE: php smilie code check by hmaster on 12-24-2005 at 05:12 PM
He means that the code will only work if you put the text in the $text variable.
This is my news post 0:) :D :)
code:
<?php
$text = "This is my news post 0:) :D :)[";
$smiley_list = array(":)", "0:)", ":D", the rest of the smilies);
$replacement_list = array('<img alt="smiley" src="smilies/grin.gif" />', '<img alt="smiley" src="smilies/angel.gif" />', '<img alt="smiley" src="smilies/biggrin.gif" />', The rest of the replacements here, using this format: '<img alt="alttext" src="location' />");
$text = str_replace($smiley_list, $replacement_list, $text);
echo $text;
?>
lol @Madman

but having to to do this throughout the code deifes the object of a 'shortcut' such as :), unless i have missed something here it would be alot simpler and quicker to just use the html tag <img> wouldnt it....
RE: php smilie code check by hmaster on 12-24-2005 at 08:03 PM
In your case yes. But it depends how you do it.
Something like WordPress does not rely on FTP to add new blog/news posts. It has a form, which then can be easier to add scripts too.

The whole point in that is to test that you are setting the $text variable correctly and that you are executing the function correctly, you wont have to do that for the code once whe can make sure that it is working correctly.

i dont understand what you mean
if you set $text to whatever you want to convert for example $text = $_POST['text'] and then use the replace function, then $text will now contain the text you inputed (e.g. $_POST['text']) but the shortcuts will have been replaced by the image codes.
So i dont see what you have to "do" that defeats the point of using the shortcuts.
Could you perhaps upload the script your testing so we can test it and understand what your trying to acheive?
RE: php smilie code check by stoshrocket on 12-24-2005 at 08:43 PM
right, look at my website for example, http://methos2.skarz.co.uk/test/ here i use php to create the template then include different files for different pages, and the php is in the head tag of index.php, what i want to do is, because i change the content quite regularly, i want it so that no matter where in the content, all i ahve to do is type and a smilie will replace it with the image, and i want the to appear throughout the page numerous times in numerous posts wherever i post them, do you understand me or am i going to have to make a quick exapmle of what i want?
RE: php smilie code check by Plik on 12-24-2005 at 08:55 PM
So you're including files with the function include? If so, how are you setting the $text variable before performing str_replace on it? If you want you can add me to msn, my address is in my sig on my profile
