You can make up your own tags by just adding more
things to be parsed.
EXAMPLE:
$text = "Look at [b]this[/b] website ...";
echo $text;
custom_tags($text);
echo $text;
function custom_tags($text)
{
/* converts special tags into the html counterpart
* [b]text[/b] - bold text
* [i]text[/i] - italicise text
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] - automatically converts to
mailto: link
* [link=http://www.yahoo.com]text[/link]
*
* [list]
* [*] text
* [*] text
* [/list]
*
* [color=value]text to colour[/color] - colourize
some text
* [colour=value]text to colour[/colour] -
colourize some text
* [font=value]text[/font] - value is a class
defined in css file*/
$text = htmlentities($text);
$text =
eregi_replace("[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z](
[-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,3}", "<a
href=\"mailto:\\0\";>\\0</a>",$text);
$text =
preg_replace("/\[link=(\S+?)\](.*?)\[\/link\]/is",
"<a href=\"\\1\">\\2</a>",$text);
$text = preg_replace("/\[i\](.*?)\[\/i\]/is",
"<i>\\1</i>",$text);
$text = preg_replace("/\[b\](.*?)\[\/b\]/is",
"<b>\\1</b>",$text);
$text =
preg_replace("/\[list\](\n)?/i","<ul>",$text);
$text =
preg_replace("/\[\/list\](\n)?/i","</ul>",$text);
$text = preg_replace("/\[\*\](.*?)$/ism",
"<li>\\1</li>",$text);
$text =
preg_replace("/\[color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/color\]/is"
, "<font color=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",$text);
$text =
preg_replace("/\[colour=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/colour\]/i
s", "<font color=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",$text);
$text =
preg_replace("/\[font=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/font\]/is",
"<font class=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",$text);
return nl2br($text);
}

Subject: [PHP] bulletin board question...
To all,
On a bulletin board (non-usenet) within a website,
is it possible to change
the color or size of the type - or add a link from
a word that the user has
posted?
For example, John Doe posts:
"Man, it's hot out here today!"
Where John changes the default font color - which
is black - of the word
"hot" - *to red* - and then links "today" with a
URL to another site like
weather.com
If so, how would this be accomplished?
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
Tony Ritter
