Show smileys using str_replace()

[Jaan]

Well it's really simple trick..

(you can copy those smileys)
smile.gif
laugh.gif
sad.gif

PHP Code:

<?php

// Display your form
function form(){

echo "<form action='?act=show' method='post'>"
    ."<textarea name='text' cols='50' rows='10'></textarea><br>"
    ."<input type='submit' value='Show'>"
    ."</form>";
    
}

function show(){

// Request your text
$text = $_REQUEST['text'];

// This will determine things what you want to replace
$replace = array(":)", ":D", ":(");

// This will determine your text replacement
$replace_to = array("<img src='smile.gif'>", "<img src='laugh.gif'>", "<img src='sad.gif'>");
$content = str_replace($replace, $replace_to, $text);

// Show your text with smileys
echo $content;

}

switch($act){

default;
form();
break;

case "show";
show();
break;

}

?>

PHP Code:

// This will determine things what you want to replace
$replace = array(":)", ":D", ":(");

// This will determine your text replacement
$replace_to = array("<img src='smile.gif'>", "<img src='laugh.gif'>", "<img src='sad.gif'>");
$content = str_replace($replace, $replaceto, $text); 


With the str_replace when you use the $replaceto variable, shouldn't it be $replace_to, like the variables name?
