Do a google search and your answers shall be revealed Smile

I hate BBCode!
For users who don't know HTML or BBCode what's the difference between telling them to type "<b>xxx</b>" or "[b]xxx[/b]" to get "xxx" in bold?

It's a security issue. If a user can write <b> , he could write any htmltag he knows. such as <script type="javascript"> or <iframe> or something like that to include foreign code. It extrame cases he even can write phptags.
So you say the user can write "[b]boldtext[\b]" but he can't write "[script=javasript.js]" or anything like this.

I understand that, but what's so different, in a programming point of view, about validating <a>, <b>, <script>, <table>, ... rather than [url], [b], [script], [table]?

The original PHP BB coders (or whoever created the [...] syntax) had the idea to use [ and ] instead of < and > because they weren't able to cope with user input, or because they wanted to create a new "language"? Either way, I hate BBCode!

i think bbcode makes your site look more professional... you see phpbb has built up a reputation of it... and if some2 finds it on a non-phpbb site...they might feel like... " ohh this guy'z got bbcode.....hes good !" Razz

i just like the sound of it... bbcode ! Razz

Here is a tutorial on BBcodes and Smilies and how to parse them with PHP.

This should help you I am using this tutorial for a site that I am working on.

If you use < and >, then you have to check every instance of them, because if you're not careful, the user could inject any arbitrary HTML tags if any of them are un-escaped. With [ and ], you only need to parse out specific tags, every other [ and ] can't really do you harm. I mean, yes, you could leave in all the <b> and <i> and <u> tags and escape the rest, but that's more work.
