Another beginners question :P

Erm.. how to create a sort of shortcuts to <b>text</b> with b[text]b for example, i already tried it with ereg_replace("b[","<b>",$string) but it didn't work so i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong.

Really appreciate some help, thx!

nono you don&#039;t get it

The site i need it for is a hosted one, i'v got no admin access at all, isn't tehre an other way to create your own custom vbcodes?

$string = 'b[this will be bold]b';

$string = str_replace('b[', '<b>', $string);
$string = str_replace(']b', '</b>', $string);

Will return <b>this will be bold</b>

You could also use eregi_replace, as that's a case insensitive replace feature (and allows regex's, unlike str_replace). However, that code might not work as is - you may have to escape the [ and ], ie \[ and \]
