Thanks! Just one more question. I also want to replace emoticons, such as :-), :), or ;-), that are stored in a table. The structure is this: id, emote, replace. How could I check to see if the text the user typed in contains any of the emotes in the table then replace them with the correct replacement? Also, how could I then limit how many are in the post?
