Configuring BBCode

[raaman rai]

i am adding dynamic contents in my website. So i also want to have a news or announcements to be dynamically displayed. But for this i need to use BBCode. But in reference to this, i dont know how the BBCode parser should be configured. Is it to be configured by ourselves or will it be done by the hosting ISP. And will the [table] tag be supported by BBCode?

Heya, Raaman.

The first step is to get in touch with your hosting provider and see if they have installed the BBCode extension for PHP (http://php.net/bbcode).

thanku for your reply. I came to know from my ISP that these configurations are not done in their server (Linux Based). So i wanna know how i should go about to implement BBCode on my own. I mean i think i will be able to configure it in my machine by finding it from the net but i dont know how i have to maitain it so that the whole configuration can remain intact even when i upload my files in the server. Please waiting for your help.

Guys, in my last post i asked about BBCode and i got the answer that hosting ISP might configure themselves. But i queried my ISP and they havent. So i now i need to know how i can use BBCode on my own. I mean how can we implement BBCode from our side without relying on the ISP. i need to know a mechanism by which BBCode can be implemented for my pages without having to ask the ISP for its configuration. Is it possible to do that?

BBCode is simply searching and replacing pseudo html tags with their real counterparts.

You can use str_replace or even preg_replace (regular expressions)

Read up on both of these on the http://php.net manual.

If the BBCode extension is not installed, you can use one of the popular BBCode classes (http://www.google.com/custom?domains...sses.org&hl=en).

phpBB uses BBCode_Parser.
