ok, it shows as it should, it replaces the smilies with the appropriate pics, and as for the code, ill just go and fetch it.....
this is the whole php code that is in the document:

Then if it works as it should if you set the the $text variable in the script then the problem is caused by how you set the $text variable to your input.

its not a case of it not working.... its just a case of that...

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replace function, then $text will now contain the text you inputed (e.g. $_POST['text']) but the shortcuts will have been replaced by the image codes.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?

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?

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
