okay just upload it to any website, and have $msg at everything you want to have a smiley face. YOU MUST HAVE THE SMILEY FILE NAME ON YOUR WEBSERVER/WEBSITE THE TEXT HAS TO BE THE SAME :p won't be the same as :P

<?php 

function smiley($msg) { 
      $msg = ereg_replace("!","<img src=!.png alt=\"!\" >", $msg); 
      $msg = ereg_replace(":D","<img src=laugh.gif alt=\":D\" >", $msg); 
      $msg = ereg_replace(":p","<img src=tongue.gif alt=\":p\" >", $msg); 
      return $msg; 
} 

 $msg = "Hi ! <br> Hello :D<br> Heheh :p"; 
 echo smiley($msg); 

?>

Now you can let it take in an array of smiley shortcuts and images. Just set up a loop that extracts the smilies and image URLs from a table in mySQL.
