Test and find a flaw in this.

Hi there,

I am creating the add bit of my CMS and I am parsing the text that is put in. The function i have created is supposed to do the following:

Put it in valid xHTML
Put it in paragraphs where appropriate.
Put linebreaks where appropriate.
Strip any unnecessary line breaks and paragraphs.
Use BB Code (this won't product valid HTML yet as i haven't done that bit yet, but it should still display ok)

So could you test it and see if it's doing what its supposed to:

Thanks.

Hi peeps....

Sorry for not explaining very well.

Basically, I want the articles to be formatted properly.

So instead of using a conventional nl2br() function (which would just have <br />'s all over the place), I have created my own which formats the text in paragraphs (how it should be done).

Just wanted to check it works properly.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks.

I am not sure exactly why its adding slashes because i havent run the addslashes or mysql escape functions anyways, but when i run the stripslashes() function it removes that. Thanks.

I can't seem to reproduce the second point you made.

EDIT:

I think i have fixed this.

I like the fact it splits by <p> rather than using <br />, but the stripping of linebreaks means I can't double space, which I think if you've got a lot of text split by titled paragraphs would be needed.

Do you mean double space between paragraphs...yeah?

I could just remove the part where it removes:

Code:

<p><br />

...that will let you double space.

good point, I'll run something to remove that.

Have updated this now (see link).

It should use BB code: quote, url, bold, italic, underline and format them properly with valid xHTML.

Also fixed any issues stated in this thread. Thanks to those that pointed them out (+solutions).

It also now formats the HTML so when you view the source it's layered.

If anyone else notices anything wrong/needs updating/.... just say....

Thanks for looking.
