Parse bbcode in any php file

[Boofo]

I never thought of that. Thank you.

But for future reference, would there be any way to do something like this? They do it in the newreply for pagetext but I'm not sure how to set something like that up for something like this.

well you can parse just the smilies with the pars_bbcode2 function, the several 1's stand for parsing options, (HTML, bbcode, smilies, imgs...) just set it the right way

and always allow html parsing or your templates would result in a very funny thing ^^

I tried that but all I got what the html code for the file. It looked really strange. I just went ahead and did a path to the image file. It was alot easier than trying to figure out what I did wrong.

I'm trying to parse BBCode in a PHP script, but it gives errors when its not in the same directory as the forums..

I chdir("forums/"); before including global.php and it eliminates the file not found errors from the includes, but it still doesn't work.. I get:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /www/forums/includes/functions.php on line 899

When I use the same code from within the forums directory, it works just fine..
Why?
