Smilies/Emoticons

[Pug307]

I was just wondering if I added my message board for the pimp game here, could somebody add smileys to it for me? I have no idea how to go on about this and have spend a few hours searching google to get nowhere.

It's probably not hard for someone that knows what there doing but I have no idea. I have read up you can use Arrays but im pretty dense when it comes to this.

Thanks

Uhh... are you using a forum software like SMF?
There should be an admin panel that comes with it where you can edit/add smilies.

Otherwise, if you are using a custom coded forum, I think the simplest way would be to use str_ireplace().
It will search the string (the user's message) and replace it with whatever you want (smilies).

Example:

Code: [Select]

<?php
$message = "Wahaha! This is just a message :)...";
$message = str_ireplace(":)", "<img src=\"smiley.gif\">", $message);
echo $message;
?>
This will add a smiley face to the message

No it's not a forum like SMF, it's one thats coded for the game. I only want the everyday smilies (wink, smile, sad, cry, etc)

I can post the whole code to the board as I don't know where abouts to add the code for the smilies. Sorry if this don't make much sense, I really don't know the correct terms for this  ^_^

i'm playin around with a script atm too pug - basically a bastardised version of pimpwarz.
i just edited "funcs.php" & added a few smileys there.
code looks like this:

Code: [Select]

    $var = str_replace( " :)", " <img src=\"img/smileys/smile.gif\" align=absmiddle border=\"0\" />", $var );
    $var = str_replace( " :P", " <img src=\"img/smileys/tongue.gif\" align=absmiddle border=\"0\" />", $var );
    $var = str_replace( " :(", " <img src=\"img/smileys/sad.gif\" align=absmiddle border=\"0\" />", $var );
    $var = str_replace( " :D", " <img src=\"img/smileys/happy.gif\" align=absmiddle align=absmiddle border=\"0\" />", $var );
    $var = str_replace( " ;)", " <img src=\"img/smileys/wink.gif\" align=absmiddle border=\"0\" />", $var );
    $var = str_replace( " >:(", " <img src=\"img/smileys/mad.gif\" align=absmiddle border=\"0\" />", $var );
    return $var;

The one i use looks like this:

Code: [Select]

function smiley2img($text) {
$emoticons = array();
$emoticons[] = array('0:)', ' <img src="images/smilies/angel.png" title="Angel" align="middle" border="0"> ');
$emoticons[] = array('O:)', ' <img src="images/smilies/angel.png" title="Angel" align="middle" border="0"> ');
foreach ($emoticons as $emoticon) {
$text = str_replace($emoticon[0], $emoticon[1], $text);
}
return $text;
}
With a lot more of course :p
