BBcode Parsing - Small Problem with [code][/code]

Hey peepz,

I've got a small problem with the following:


$bbcode = array(
"'\[code\](.*?)\[/code\]'"

$html = array(
"<div class=\"codetop\">CODE</div><div class=\"codemain\"><br /><br />\\1<br /><br /></div></div>"


I've left all other BBcode out and smiley stuff, and other PHP code. I'm using the above (using code example from IPB forums) to replace [*code] with <div class= etc. It works, when the actual [*code] is on one line. If I have more text in the code, it doesn't work, example:


[*code]Blabla here [*/code]

The above works fine. But when it has more text like below:


[*code]Blabla here
And some more blabla here
And then another bla here,
Last but not least, one more bla[*/code]

It doesn't work. Any idea how this can be resolved?

Nobody can help?

What do you mean doesn't work? Doesn't show the code? Shows the code on one line, even though there's linebreaks in there?

I'm going to post an image of what I mean:

I've just inserted something into the database, using the bbcode sample parser I posted above. As you can see, it works, but when I posted stuff between the code tags which is more than one line, it doesn't.

Try something like this:
<?php
$str = 'blah blah
blahblah


blah';
$bbcode = array('/\[code\](.*)\[\/code\]/s');
$html = array('<div class="codetop">CODE</div><div class="codemain"><br /><br />\\1<br /><br /></div></div>');
echo '<pre>' . preg_replace($bbcode, $html, $str) . '</pre>';
?>

Nope, this also doesn't work. Isn't there a more easy way of solving this?

Nobody?

dev.bbcode.org

dev.bbcode.org

Doesn't exist.

Add "s" to the end of the regex.

hope this helps :)

I believe this is what I needed!

Something like this should work, although I have not tried it out yet. Thanks all for the replies and the help. If it worked I'll post my results here.
