[image:folder-path:name][image:database-id]

There is not a way to use PHP when posting. The best bet is to make a rendering plugin that will give you something like or ... or even better <!-- image:whatever --> when you post that gets rendered into the actual image tag.

thanks for answer.

Well, i thought about that, too, so i starded to code my complete own blog ;-) Therefore i codet a plugin 4 image linking, which is still not finished right now (SQL implementations still missing), but seems to work fine.

If You - or anyone - is interested in that, here my "beta" source code:

<?php
/*
This is used in text to add an image.
usage:

  blog:
  [image]"var1"#"var2"#"var3"#"var4"#"var5"#"var6"[/image]

  code:
  InsertImage("var1","var2","var3","var4","var5","var6");
  
  Vars:
  
  [var1] = [$image_id] = Integer (reading from database)
  [var2] = [$image_url] = "http://www. ... .xy"
  [var3] = [$comment] = text    (Comment you want to add to picture. If NONE added, it will be selecting comment from DB / printing Url of linked img.)
  [var4] = [$scale] = integer 2, 4, 10, 20 , 30 , .... (percantage of scaling img up/down)
  [var5] = [$width] = integer, fixed width
  [var6] = [$height] = integer, fixed height.
  
  PLEASE NOTE:
  
  You can't use all vars at once - some only work alone.
  If using, [var1] = [$image_id] DONT use [var2] = [$image_url]   => will ignore $image_url
  If using, [var2] = [$image_url] DONT use [var1] = [$image_id]   => will not work
  If using, [var3] = [$comment] the comment read from DB will be ignored.
  if using [var3] = scale dont use var4,var5    =>   will ignore absolute vars
  
  using (Var1 OR Var2) AND (Var4 OR Var5) will cause the "Missing"-Value to be calculated,
  depending on picture ratio (4:3, 16:9, ...)
  
  Examples:
  [image]1###40##[/image]   =>Inserts Image with ID1 and scales it down on 40%, reading comment from DB
  [image]1####640#[/image]   =>Inserts Image with ID1, height="640" and calulates the according width., reading comment from db
  [image]#http://www. ... .xy/Bild.xz###100#100[/image]  =>Inserts Image form URL given,displays url, cause no comment set, and brings it on 100*100pixel. NOTE: NO propertional Resize!
  [image]1##That's me###[/image]   =>Inserts Image with ID1, and Picturedefined parametres. Adds Comment "That's me", ignoring database safed comment.

function look_4_img_tags($text){
/*search image tag*/
$hits =  preg_match_all("/\[image\](.*)\[\/image\]/i",$text,$imgstring);

while ($current < $hits) {
  /*Split array*/
  $v = explode("#",$imgstring[1][$current]);
  
  /*make divs*/
  $s = CreateImage($v[0],$v[1],$v[2],$v[3],$v[4],$v[5]);
  
  /*replace in text*/
  $text = str_replace($imgstring[0][$current],$s,$text);
  
  $current = $current+1;
}
return $text;
}

maybe it will be better, to replace the tags by "Preg_replace_all" ... it's beta ;)

(smily and tag linking plugin works very fine with Preg_replace_all)
