Ferdinand · Oct 2nd 2008

Halo I try this BBCode, work fine... but I want more validation in input;

Code

[ymstatus]yahooID[/ymstatus]

PHP

<?php
require_once(WCF_DIR.'lib/data/message/bbcode/BBCodeParser.class.php');
require_once(WCF_DIR.'lib/data/message/bbcode/BBCode.class.php');




class YMstatusBBCode implements BBCode {
	public function getParsedTag($openingTag, $content, $closingTag, BBCodeParser $parser) {
		$yahooID = $content;

		// need some validation here
		// $yahooID = "someID"; valid
		// $yahooID = "someID@yahoo.com"; not valid
		// $yahooID = "someID@msn.com"; not valid
		// Yahoo Hint
		// Use 4 to 32 characters and start with a letter. You may use letters, numbers, underscores, and one dot (.)

		if ($parser->getOutputType() == 'text/html') {
			return '<a href="ymsgr:sendIM?'.$yahooID.'"><img src="http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u='.$yahooID.'&m=g&amp;t=14" alt="" /></a>';
		}
		else if ($parser->getOutputType() == 'text/plain') {
			return '[YMSTATUS]'.$yahooID.'[/YMSTATUS]';
		}
	}
}

Are you developing a yahoo BBCode? I don't understand what you want from us. Validation of the Yahoo ID with RegEx Patterns?

I want to show Yahoo Status Messenger (Online/offline) in post/signature...
And make clickable in image to add in contact;

Coz the URL and IMG tag not work properly;

Code

[url='ymsgr:sendIM?yahooID'][img]http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=yahooID&m=g&t=14[/img][/url]

Take a look here

The code I wrote above is works fine but I want some validation with RegEx Patterns;
Sorry Im blind about regex;

Thx for Help

I might have some time to look at it as soon as I am at home again. Is the yahooID alpha-numerical? (All signs from a-z,A-Z and 1-9 allowed) TBH i don't know much about yahoo I just need to know what kind of characters are valid and I can build a regEx Command for you.

BTW: I moved this thread to the developers corner.

This is hint from Yahoo when first time SIgnUp;

Quote

Use 4 to 32 characters and start with a letter. You may use letters, numbers, underscores, and one dot (.)

All this hint is valid, of course

Just a quick guess for the expression: /([a-z][a-z0-9_.])*{4,32}/si

Use preg_match for extracting the match. This should work on all 3 examples in your source code.
