Hi,

How can I write a php script, so if in a varable there is the text "[link=http://www.foo.com]Stuff[/link]" (without quotes), it just displays "[link]"??

These tags would be inside lots of other plain text.

Thanks in advance,

You can do this with preg_replace.
As you can see it will replace it with an actual link. You can adjust it to do exactly what you want.

Adittionally you might want to use an array to match each replacement to what they are replaced with and use array_keys() and array_values().

This is of course if you plan to have a lot of BBCode and dont want to have a replacement for everyone.
