Forum Board Smiley Faces

I’m building a website that will have a forum board on it. I need to know how to set up my forum so that when a user types a emoticon like this —-> πŸ™‚
in the forum text area it will display a smiley image on the forum board. If anyone can help I sure would appreciate it.

@brendandonhueJul 08.2003 β€”Β For your forum you must be using a serverside language, so it is easiest to parse the smilies serverside.

What language are you using for the forum?

@bearauthorJul 08.2003 β€”Β Hi brendandonhue, the fact is my friend I do not have the foggest idea what your talking about. Sorry, but I,m new to this programming stuff. I have done some copy & past jobs with a little chopping thrown in to get the scripts to fit in, but no programming on my own.

The forum board I have comes with my membership at Boomspeed.com web hosting. I am trying to build a website with tutorials and other stuff like graphices, color charts, links to websites where floks can download softwares. In other words a helps website for "Newbies". And wanted to add the smilies to the forum if possible.

@brendandonhueJul 08.2003 β€”Β What language is the board powered by? PHP? ASP? CGI?

If you really don't know, then yes I'll help you do it in javascript but it wont be as reliable.

@bearauthorJul 08.2003 β€”Β brendandonhue I was not sure what you ment by "What language is the board powered by", but I do now. I'm not 100% sure although I believe its CGI, but give me a little time and I will find out for sure. Oh by the way, "THANK YOU" for helping me out here ?

I'll get back to you as soon as posible.........
