I need to replace text enclosed in brackets with links. How can I get that text, though? I've tried numerous variations of the following, with no success: $articleText=preg_replace('/\[[a-z]]/i' , makeLink($1), $articleText); I cannot get the text between the brackets send to the makeLink function. Could someone push me in the right direction? An example of the text would be: $articleText="Ajax is an acronym of Asynchronous [JavaScript] and [XML]"; Where I'd like the strings "JavaScript" and "XML" sent to the makeLink function. Thanks in advance. Dotan Cohen
