I'm doing this:

$emArr = array(
":-)",
":-D",
":-(",
":-o",
":-x",
":-P",
":-?",
"8-)"
);

$imgArr = array(
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08021.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08047.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08017.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08027.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08042.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08050.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08044.gif\">",
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/AddEmoticons08046.gif\">"
);

$this_comment = str_replace($emArr, $imgArr, $this_comment);

Just because it would save a few bytes and be easier to read, I would like to change $imgArr to just this:

$imgArr = array(
"AddEmoticons08021.gif",
"AddEmoticons08047.gif",
"AddEmoticons08017.gif",
"AddEmoticons08027.gif",
"AddEmoticons08042.gif",
"AddEmoticons08050.gif",
"AddEmoticons08044.gif",
"AddEmoticons08046.gif"
);

and then change the str_replace to something like this:

$this_comment = str_replace($emArr,
"<img src=\"$image_path/emoticons/" . $imgArr . "\">",
$this_comment);

I tried it, of course, but instead of replacing with the correct value of $imgArr, it just replaced with "Array".

Is there a better function for this, or should I stick with the repeated text in the array?

You could try to do it like this:
(I added the arrays together)

$prefix = '<img src="$image_path/emoticons/';
$postfix = '">';

$emArr = array(
":-)" => $prefix."AddEmoticons08021.gif".$postfix,
":-D" => $prefix."AddEmoticons08047.gif".$postfix,
":-(" => $prefix."AddEmoticons08017.gif.$postfix
// etc. etc.
);

And then
$this_comment = str_replace
(array_keys($emArr), $emArr, $this_comment);

That works, thanks! And especially thanks for the tip on using the hash array; I didn't think about using array_keys(). That's much easier to read!
