Can someone please write me this simple PHP script?

[DarkTemplar194]

Ok, all I want is for someone to write this simple script for me, as I don't know how to do it. :confused2

I'd like a script that does this:

When I type in the PHP page's HTML -
(without spaces of course)

: - ) it loads images/smiley/smile.gif
; - ) it loads images/smiley/wink.gif
: - P it loads images/smiley/tounge.gif
: - ( it loads images/smiley/sad.gif
: - D it loads images/smiley/grin.gif

I'd appreciate it if someone would write this for me between the <?php and ?> tags, nothing else. thanks in advance to whoever writes it!:biggrin2:

<?php

$text = str_replace(":-)", "<img src=\"images/smiley/smile.gif\" border=\"0\">", $text);

// and so on...

?>

thanks, but it didn't..really work...:confused:

AH-HA, most likely cuz my host hey.nu turned off register_globals so you have to rewrite the $trings. sorry about that, it's something like HTTP_GET_VARS or somethin..:o

[keith]

must be something like that, because that code is relatively simple and should work with any normal php setup.

[DarkTemplar194]

Never mind, I got a solution elsewhere.
thanks anyway.:)

[keith]

you mean you found a host with php that works?

[DarkTemplar194]

Nah, my host was fine, and I don't think it was because of register_globals turning off; well actually it probably was :biggrin2: but someone I sorta know has been a BIG help to me lately and he wrote the script correctly for me and it worked great! :) (thanks anyway though)

[keith]

just out of curiosity, what did you end up using? i use the above code in a script i've written and it works great...

actually, i use eregi_replace(), so :p and :P , etc... both work without having to define it twice.

[DarkTemplar194]

I'm not sure if this is the best/most effecient way to write it, but this is the way it was written:



<?php

$thetext = str_replace(":-)", "<img src=\"images/smiley/smile.gif\" border=\"0\">", $thetext);
$thetext = str_replace(";-)", "<img src=\"images/smiley/wink.gif\" border=\"0\">", $thetext);
$thetext = str_replace(":-P", "<img src=\"images/smiley/tounge.gif\" border=\"0\">", $thetext);
$thetext = str_replace(":-(", "<img src=\"images/smiley/sad.gif\" border=\"0\">", $thetext);
$thetext = str_replace(":-D", "<img src=\"images/smiley/grin.gif\" border=\"0\">", $thetext);

?>


Check it out.:classic2:

[Who?]

thats the same thing that keith posted

[DarkTemplar194]

Hmm, yeah, I just noticed that. I was getting it into nuke and I guess the $text string was already taken in the php file, so they interfered. Thanks anyway though.:)

thats the same thing that keith posted i was going to say... that's like 100% identical to what i wrote for you, besides replacing $text with $thetext. i just used $text as a general variable. i figured it was simple enough to figure out that it was only an example and you would obviously change the variables to suit your needs.

lol, well, sorry about that. I know little to none about PHP so I didn't bother doing it.:p
