html -> bbcode function

[sabret00the]

$message = "Reporting Post: g=$g&#post$p]Post ID #$p (viewthread.php?$session[sessionurl)\n\nReason: htmlspecialchars($reason)";
this line is spitting out an error, so i'm thinking
$message = "Reporting Post: <a href=\"viewthread.php?$session[sessionurl]g=$g&amp;#post$p\">Post ID #$p</a>\n\nReason: htmlspecialchars($reason)";
but in order to do that i need to convert the html to bbcode, and i'm sure i've seen a function for it but can't find it, does anyone know what it is?

What error you're getting?

[sabret00the]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING
parse error, i'm thinking it's because of the square brackets.

Just use single quotes and the concatenation operator:
$message = 'Reporting Post: .'g='.$g.'&amp;#post'.$p.']Post ID #'.$p.' (viewthread.php?'.$session[sessionurl)\n\nReason: '.htmlspecialchars($reason);

Escape-Code in single quotes don't work.

Try this

$message = "Reporting Post: g=$g&amp;#post$p]Post ID #$p" . " (viewthread.php?$session[sessionurl)\n\nReason: " . htmlspecialchars($reason);


The function to convert HTML to BB Code (as far as possible) is convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode() in functions_wysiwyg.php
