bbcode

A simple yet flexible BBCode parser for PHP 5.4 and higher.

Features

  • Transforms BBCode documents to a DOMDocument. Can be altered using its API or queried using XPath.
  • Annotates smileys and urls in text nodes
  • Flexible recursive rendering mechanism.

Installation

The easiest way to get started is by using composer. Since the API is not finalised you need to refer to devristo/bbcode as follows:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/Devristo/bbcode.git"
    }
  ], "require": {
    "devristo/bbcode": "dev-master"
  }
}

Minimal example

For basic BBCode devristo/bbcode offers out of the box support. This is the case for [b], [i], [img], [s], [u] and [url] tags.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$html = $bbcode->toHtml("Hello [b]world[/b]");

// Echoes 'Hello <b>world</b>'
echo $html;

Transforming BBCode to a DOMDocument

Internally devristo/bbcode parses BBCode into a DOMDocument before rendering its content to HTML.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$document = $bbcode->toDocument("Hello [b]world[/b]");

// Echoes 'world'
echo $document->getElementsByTagName("b")->item(0)->textContent;

###Linkification By default devristo/bbcode annotates all links by creating an url element in the DOM tree. You can disable this behaviour using $bbcode->setLinkify(false). The following example uses linkification and the generated DOM model to query all urls used in the BBCode.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$document = $bbcode->toDocument("
  Hello visitor of www.github.com/Devristo/bbcode , 
  did you come here using [url]https://google.com/[/url] 
  or by [url=https://bing.com/]Bing.com[/url] ?
");

// Echoes:
// www.github.com/Devristo/bbcode
// https://google.com/
// https://bing.com/
foreach($document->getElementsByTagName("url") as $urlElement) {
    $url = $urlElement->getAttribute('url') ?: $urlElement->textContent;
    echo $url. PHP_EOL;
}

###Emoticons Similar to links devristo/bbcode annotates emoticons with the emoticon tag in the DOM tree. Emoticons are matched on word basis and must be defined using $bbcode->addEmoticon(':)'). They can be parsed by setting a decorator for 'emoticon' elements.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\RenderContext;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\BBDomElement;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$bbcode->addEmoticon(':)');
$bbcode->getRenderContext()->setDecorator(
 'emoticon', 
 function(RenderContext $context, BBDomElement $element){
    $images = array(
      ':)' => 'smile.gif'
    );
    
    $code = $element->getInnerBB();
    return '<img src="'.$images[$code].'" alt="'.$code.'">';
 }
);

// Echoes 'Hello world <img src="smile.gif" alt=":)">'
echo $bbcode->toHtml("Hello world :)");

Defining new tags and their decorators

Eventhough all possible BBCode tags are parsed into the DOM, unknown tags will be rendered by the VerbatimDecorator which outputs the originally fed BBCode. To render a tag in a different way its decorator should be set to the RenderContext.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\RenderContext;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\BBDomElement;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$bbcode->getRenderContext()->setDecorator(
 'spoiler', 
 function(RenderContext $context, BBDomElement $element){
    return '<div style="background: black; color: black">'.$context->render($element).'</div>';
 }
);

// Echoes '<div style="background: black; color: black">Hello <b>world</b></div>'
echo $bbcode->toHtml("[spoiler]hello [b]world[/spoiler]");

You can override internal devristo/bbcode decorators by simple setting the decorator for the tags explicitly. If you want to disable all internal decorators simply call $bbcode->getRenderContext()->removeAllDecorators() before defining your own.

Altering RenderContext on-the-fly

Often you might want to change the rendering of decendent elements of a specific tag. For example we could define a [quote] tag, and render nested quotes differently.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\RenderContext;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\BBDomElement;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$bbcode->getRenderContext()->setDecorator(
 'quote', 
 function(RenderContext $context, BBDomElement $element){
    // $context is the RenderContext used for direct and indirect descendants of the current element.
    
    $context->setDecorator('quote', function(RenderContext $context, BBDomElement $element){
      return '<blockquote>[ ... ]</blockquote>';
    });
    
    return '<blockquote>'.$context->render($element).'</blockquote>';
 }
);

// Echoes '<blockquote>Hello <blockquote>[ ... ]</blockquote></blockquote>'
echo $bbcode->toHtml("[quote]Hello [quote]world[/quote]");

Retrieving raw BBCode

Sometimes we are content with the raw contents of an element. A good example is the following [code] tag, which renders everything between code-tags as is.

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

use Devristo\BBCode\BBCode;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\RenderContext;
use Devristo\BBCode\Parser\BBDomElement;

$bbcode = new BBCode();
$bbcode->getRenderContext()->setDecorator(
 'code', 
 function(RenderContext $context, BBDomElement $element){
    return '<pre>'.$element->getInnerBB().'</pre>';
 }
);

// Echoes '<pre>Hello [quote]world</pre>'
echo $bbcode->toHtml("[code]Hello [quote]world[/code]");
