I am making a news script for my website, and on the add comments bit I am adding smilieys. I have never used str_replace(); before and I need a little bit of help.

Here is the code for the actual replacements of the

into

:

PHP Code:


			
$comments = str_replace(":)","<img src=\"images/icons/smile.jpg\">,$comments");

$comments.= str_replace(":(","<img src=\"images/icons/sad.jpg\">,$comments");

$comments.= str_replace(":|","<img src=\"images/icons/blank.jpg\">,$comments");

$comments = str_replace(":d","<img src=\"images/icons/grin.jpg\">,$comments");

$comments = str_replace(":'(","<img src=\"images/icons/cry.jpg\">,$comments");

$comments = str_replace(":p","<img src=\"images/icons/tounge.jpg\">,$comments");

$comments = str_replace(";)","<img src=\"images/icons/wink.jpg\">,$comments");

When I go to add my comments I get this error:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for str_replace() in /home/karl89/public_html/modules/home/added.php on line 11

For each of the str_replace(); functions...

Can anybody help me out? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Karl

PHP Code:


			
 $comments = str_replace(":)", "<img src=\"images/icons/smile.jpg\">", $comments);

Use preg_replace() in this case as it allows to pass array of matches and array of replacements in one call not to call str_replace() on every smile.

Heres one i made earlier:

PHP Code:


			
<?

function smilies($content) {



        $content = str_replace(":)", "<IMG SRC=\"images/smile.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-)", "<IMG SRC=\"images/smile.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":(", "<IMG SRC=\"images/sad.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-(", "<IMG SRC=\"images/sad.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":o", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_surprised.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-o", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_surprised.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":0", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_surprised.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":D", "<IMG SRC=\"images/bigsmile.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-D", "<IMG SRC=\"images/bigsmile.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":d", "<IMG SRC=\"images/bigsmile.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-d", "<IMG SRC=\"images/bigsmile.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":p", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-p", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":P", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":-P", "<IMG SRC=\"images/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(";)", "<IMG SRC=\"images/wink.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(";-)", "<IMG SRC=\"images/wink.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":shocked:", "<IMG SRC=\"images/shocked.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":rolleyes:", "<IMG SRC=\"images/rolleyes.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":cool:", "<IMG SRC=\"images/cool.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    $content = str_replace(":angry:", "<IMG SRC=\"images/angry.gif\" alt=\"\">", $content);

    

    return($content);

}

?>

As your posting the news / comment / anything your posting into the database, get the variable

$content = $_GET['content']; <-- that has been posted using a form
$content = smilies($content);

INSERT INTO...

Then once you pull it out of the database it will have the images

One thing you need to look out for though are the slashes!

PHP Code:


			
$content = $_GET['content'];

$content = smilies($content);

addslashes($content);

Then when drawing from the database in your "news" script:

PHP Code:


			
stripslashes($content);

echo("$content");

Hope that helps ya at all mate!
