BBCODE No Code

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 03.2007

I am writing my own little mb system for my website… and i allow bbcode, now i was wondering how would i write a nocode tag so that way all the text between the [nocode]TEXT HERE[/nocode] it would escape out the brackets [ and ] so that way the system would not interpret the code.

@temp_user123Jul 03.2007 — Just use [B]htmlspecialchars()[/B] (or [B]htmlentities()[/B]) on the part between the NOCODE tags.

@JustinauthorJul 03.2007 — That wouldn't work because that just changes < >to &gt; and &lt; and it would keep [ as [. I need to change [ to its escape sequence.. I'll just run the grabbed data through another function to escape those... i was just hoping there was an easy way of doing it.

@JustinauthorJul 03.2007 — pass the found result from a pre_replace to a funciton with the found result as the paramater.

$parse = preg_replace('/[nocode](.*?)[/nocode]/i', '1', $parse

How would i pass the 1 into a function and what that function returns is what i would replace it with?

I believe [B]htmlentites()[/B] will change those, too.

@JustinauthorJul 03.2007 — htmlentites() does not deal with [] that is by defualt i don't know if you can tell it to... but all it deals with is quotes slashes and < >.

And at the moment, all i need to do is figure out how to pass a preg_replace to a fucion and then replace using what the function returns... how do you pass what the preg_replace found into the function like

$parse = preg_replace('/[nocode](.*?)[/nocode]/i', '1', $parse);

how would i pass what was found to a function?

I want to do something like:

$parse = preg_replace('/[nocode](.*?)[/nocode]/i', removeBrace('1'), $parse);

But I don't know how i would do that correctly.

You're describing the function of [B]htmlspecialchars()[/B] -- not [B]htmlentities()[/B]. However, though [B]htmlentities()[/B] does translate over 100 special characters to their equivalent html entities, I've checked the list of standard named html entities and, sorry to say, brackets are not on that list. So, you win. ?

@bluestarsJul 04.2007 — Do two steps:

preg_match('/[nocode](.*?)[/nocode]/i',$orig,$matches);

$parse = removeBrace($matches[1]);

preg_replace('/[nocode](.*?)[/nocode]/i',$parse,$orig);

Success!
