phpBB codes -> HTML

[Ondra Zizka]

Please does someone know whether a tool that I look for exists and where?
I need some PHP script that would transform phpBB codes to valid XHTML.
phpBB codes are the metatags used to format posts to phpBB-powered forums,
like the one at http://www.winlyrics.com .
I started writing my own parser, but still I would rather use some more
tested code.

Thanks, Ondra

I've been using http://elouai.com/bbcode-sample.php on a small site for
some time. It doesn't provide full bbCode support, sacraficing it for
(apparently) speed and extensibility. It's certainly very easy to add
custom tags.

http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_BBCodeParser

I haven't used it, but reading the package description, it's just the
right thing.

This seems almost too obvious an answer to mention, but have you
considered looking at the phpBB source code? It is open-source, after
all. Download the source here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpbb/
and look at the file /includes/bbcode.php

Re: phpBB codes -&gt; HTML

Sure I did look at it, but seems to be too tightly tied to phpBB's purposes
like quoting and cross-referencing in forums.
Thanks to all for replies.

Re: phpBB codes -&gt; HTML

Just if anyone read this thread in the future:
http://elouai.com/bbcode-sample.php isn't good for letting the user to input
the code. It fundamentally just replaces [tag] with <tag> using
str_replace() and thus all advantages like not allowing user to break the
page layout are lost. But may be used to transform phpBB code that was
already validated.
