... I don't understand why you are using a text file?

and why not use a simple:
PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
 
str_replace($smile,'<img src="images/smile.gif" alt="smile" />',$var_shoutout);
  1.  
  2. str_replace($smile,'<img src="images/smile.gif" alt="smile" />',$var_shoutout);

Post your Shout Box's Code, and we can tell you where to add the code for emoticons.

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
str_replace($smile,'<img src="images/smile.gif" alt="smile" />',$var_shoutout);


That code will probably give you an error, or at least now work right, because it will think $smile is a variable, you should make it like :smile: or :)

There is also an area in the Admin Area of your shoutbox in ShoutMix, that allows you to do this. It can replace, change, edit, and create your own smileys!

Yeah it works fine as a var except when you have similar smily values, eg:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
:??:
and
Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
:?
it won't distinguish between

but aside from hand typing all the values and checking for them, there has to be an easier way?

You'll need Javascript. Something like

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<html>
<head>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function add_smile(smile){
             before = document.myform.message.value;
             after = before + " " + smile;
             document.myform.message.value = after;
    }
    </script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="javascript: add_smile(':)');"><img src="happy.gif"></a>
<a href="javascript: add_smile(':(');"><img src="sad.gif"></a>
<a href="javascript: add_smile(':|');"><img src="plain.gif"></a>
<form name="myform">
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
</form>

</body>
</html>
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3.     <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  4.     function add_smile(smile){
  5.              before = document.myform.message.value;
  6.              after = before + " " + smile;
  7.              document.myform.message.value = after;
  8.     }
  9.     </script>
  10. </head>
  12. <body>
  13. <a href="javascript: add_smile(':)');"><img src="happy.gif"></a>
  14. <a href="javascript: add_smile(':(');"><img src="sad.gif"></a>
  15. <a href="javascript: add_smile(':|');"><img src="plain.gif"></a>
  16. <form name="myform">
  17. <textarea name="message"></textarea>
  18. </form>
  20. </body>
  21. </html>

I'm not sure of that problem, let us see your code. If this is your code, from that other topic:

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<?php
 
 
 
 $data = file('profile.txt'); //Asigning the variable "$data" to our textfile
 
 $data = array_reverse($data); //Reversing all the data in the textfle
 
 if($data == "") //If the textfile has no data in it
 
  {
 
   print "<center>There is currently no comments. Please feel free to add your own</center>"; //Since there are no comments, display this default message
 
  }
 
 else //Else read from the text file and display it's contents
 
  {
 
 foreach($data as $element)
 
  {
 
   $element = trim($element);
 
   $peices = explode("|", $element);
 
   echo $peices[2] . $peices[1] . "" . $peices[0] . "";
 
  }
 
  }
 
?>
  1. <?php
  2.  
  3.  
  4.  
  5.  $data = file('profile.txt'); //Asigning the variable "$data" to our textfile
  6.  
  7.  $data = array_reverse($data); //Reversing all the data in the textfle
  8.  
  9.  if($data == "") //If the textfile has no data in it
  10.  
  11.   {
  12.  
  13.    print "<center>There is currently no comments. Please feel free to add your own</center>"; //Since there are no comments, display this default message
  14.  
  15.   }
  16.  
  17.  else //Else read from the text file and display it's contents
  18.  
  19.   {
  20.  
  21.  foreach($data as $element)
  22.  
  23.   {
  24.  
  25.    $element = trim($element);
  26.  
  27.    $peices = explode("|", $element);
  28.  
  29.    echo $peices[2] . $peices[1] . "" . $peices[0] . "";
  30.  
  31.   }
  32.  
  33.   }
  34.  
  35. ?>


I think it might have something to do with using file('profile.txt')... because it might make a line break show as 2 different things, then you reverse them, so it would put them in the wrong order.

Well, that isn't all of it, is it? I see never saw you declare $name/$quote to anything... and I don't see why you're exploding a pipe ("|").. Are you even writting a pipe into the quotes.txt?

From what i see, you're just writtting the HTML straight to the file.. And that Makes me wonder what is the point of even using explode() at all? Also, I wonder why you write the closing tags for the previous quotes first.. That can't be right, because then your first entry would have closing divs, to div that isn't there!

Sorry, I just don't know where to help on this one. I can post you an example of a shout box I made, and maybe that will help you see what functions do what...
