where is ure chatbox?

scienceguyz · 2012-04-07 10:07:31

not done yet.

Different55 · 2012-04-07 15:28:49

Not releasing it until it's working on with MySQL.

Update: BBCode parser finished.

scienceguyz · 2012-04-07 19:25:27

how? I want it!

Bobithan · 2012-04-07 19:33:37

Neato. Can you make username colors and pings like in CounterStrike?

Different55 · 2012-04-07 21:06:46

When I made it I decided to name it FireStorm because the reason I wanted to make a chatbox was CS.

Colors were implemented when I added the LoadLog function. It grabs the last 30 messages, then grabs the username of the message and when I did that I also made it grab the user's color and it prints the color, the name, the time, the message, then moves on to the next line.

Can I has BBcode codes?

Different55 · 2012-04-08 08:37:44

yeah.

$pattern[] = "#\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]#";
$pattern[] = "#\[i\](.*?)\[/b\]#";

$replace[] = "<b>$1</b>";
$replace[] = "<i>$1</i>";

$msg = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $msg);

scienceguyz · 2012-04-08 14:44:44

where does I put that? Index? Log? Post? gonna try post.

Different55 · 2012-04-08 15:35:40

It's not gonna work right off if you stuff it somewhere. You has to plug it into ur codes. post.php if u aren't usin a functions.php

scienceguyz · 2012-04-08 16:59:12

do I use another <? ?> or do i just add it?

Different55 · 2012-04-08 19:28:10

let's say the variable that gets written to log.html is $msg.

This takes $msg and parses it into BBCode. $msg in your case is probably $_POST['msg'] or something similar. Add $msg = $_POST['whatever']; before it gets written to the log then replace all istances of $_POST['thatthing'] with $msg and insert that parsin' business before it gets written to the log but after $msg is declared.

Use <?php ?>. Even though <? ?> will work on most places, you should use the long form just for interoperability.

Different55 · 2012-04-08 20:15:40

Don't use <? ?> when they've already been used. <?php somecode <?php somecode ?> ?> won't work.

Ratburntro44 · 2012-04-08 21:07:18

It will if your goal is to generate an error.

scienceguyz · 2012-04-09 10:14:47

but will
<?php some code?>
<?php some more code?>
work?
And 000webhost should get ASP so I can go <% somecode %>

Different55 · 2012-04-09 15:14:17

Yes, but it's pointless and won't work in this situation. Forget about <?php ?> and put it in the already existing ones.

scienceguyz · 2012-04-09 17:16:24

I'm confused. Can I have the Full code for whatever I need to put the BBcode in, but make sure it works with my php fwrite and not your MySQL.
*works on passcode*

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that doesn't know how to code on this forum...

Nope. You're not the only one.
