>>Hi Kodrik: I just looked at your function and would like to use it myself, but shouldn't the ampersand line: $copy=eregi_replace ("&", "&", $copy); look like this instead? So it matches the other lines that have a symbol replaced by HTML?? $copy=eregi_replace ("&", "&", $copy); Cheers. Russ<<
No, because the & sign is needed to represent the ascii values. So I'm actually doing it to put it back where it got converted by htmlspecialchars. If you are going to use it for a forum, you might also be interested by hyperlinkor. It converts urls into links, however they are entered (with a www. or not, httpd or not...) http://zc8.com/zc8/ZC8news/shownews.php?articleid=108 You run your string through this function before displaying. and the links are anchored. Do not run it before entering a string in a database, only before echoing the string. My reply to you was bounced back, so I replied to your message on the list instead. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
