$gelen=$row['post'];
$post_array = preg_split('/()/', $gelen, 65535, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
for ($i=0; $i<=count($post_array); $i++){
if(strstr($post_array[$i], ' $gelen = str_replace($post_array[$i],
$this->ipsclass->vars['bl_hide_links_replace'], $gelen);
}

// replace code [CODE]
$post_array = preg_split('/(.*?)/', $gelen, 65535, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
for ($i=0; $i<=count($post_array); $i++){
if(strstr($post_array[$i],''))
