hey there I relise there's probably a few threads on here but theres none that answer my question.

I have been writing a script for my web site where users can write in a thread and get the thread to display onto the main page, because this is done through a forum, I have to write up a bbcode script, I have some of the basic's done already however i'm stuck on the url's and email's could someone give me a hand?

here's the code I have so fare.

function bbcode($msg){
    //bold
    $msg = str_replace("[b]", "<b>", $msg);
    $msg = str_replace("[/b]", "</b>", $msg);
    //italic
    $msg = str_replace("[i]", "<i>", $msg);
    $msg = str_replace("[/i]", "</i>", $msg);
    //underline
    $msg = str_replace("[u]", "<u>", $msg);
    $msg = str_replace("[/u]", "</u>", $msg);

    $msg = str_replace("[/move]", "</marquee>", $msg);
    //image

    $msg = str_replace("[/img]", "\"/>", $msg);
    //table
    $msg = str_replace("[table]", "<table>", $msg);
    $msg = str_replace("[/table]", "</table>", $msg);

You've messed up the code with bbcode!

urls have at least 2 elements: href and the content. So a bbcode for an url would be:

replace url=href with <a href="href"> and the ending /url with </a>

hey there, that works kinda, but when I put the code in and view it on a beta page it only links to http:// or gives out a link back to my test folder where I store my test scripts. and not where it should go to in the thread.

what's your code for this transformation?
