PHcode URL tag: Why is it backwards?

[Pigeon]

Compare these:

HTML:
<a href="http://www.someurl.com/">Link description</a>

BBCode:
[url=http://www.someurl.com/]Link description[/url]

PHcode:
[url]Link description|http://www.someurl.com/[/url]

Dunno why it has taken me so many years to raise this point but it is most confusing, I keep putting in the URL and the description in the conventional order only to find that it's the wrong way round for PH.

Would be nice to implement the BBCode syntax... should be easy enough without screwing anything up... (url) => PHcode syntax, (url-foo) => BBCode

I prefer the way that PH does it personally. I've got used to it.

I must admit that I keep putting it in the wrong way too when adding links, but as Plotloss says this has been the case for a number of years and thus the old way stays. We will look into adding the BBCode way of implementing though when we have a relook at the paresers towards the end of this month.

Cool
