line breaks, bold and italics in php?
Hello,

Many folks helped me out a while back in creating a global for the cgi front end, where I can add [ b] [ i] and the would be converted to their html equivalent. Also, the Detailed text would understand a line break and add a < br> after it.

Is there some equivalent of this sort of thing in the php front end? Would it be a code snippet placed somewhere? How would one do this?

Also, since I am using LSQL as a content tool, I made it so I can turn off this feature for any record. Used a handy if statement and then if I need to use html, I can, otherwise, my editors are free to use this other code. Works out really well.

How would I do something like this with the php front end?

Thanks,
Evoir

Hi,

How familiar are you with PHP in general? If you know how to do string manipulation in PHP, it's just a matter of putting the PHP code into the template. Remember, the template is a full PHP page.

Cheers,

Alex
