"My Links" Menu

[Opserty]

Why do you need to invoke the BBCode Parser?

Simply create a User Field with a textarea. Have users input it like:

LinkName|LinkURL
LinkName2|LinkURL2

1. When it comes to display time explode() the userfield by a newline "\n" (double quotes important here).
2. trim() the output (use array_map() if you need to).
3. Then explode() each line again by a '|'.
4. Run a regex check on the LinkURL (to make sure its valid)
5. Finally, run LinkName through htmlspecialchars() (or the vB function htmlspecialchars_uni()).

Information on each function can be found on php.net. (Just type in http://php.net/function_name in your browser or use the search feature on their site).
