Either of these should work:
$str = preg_replace("/(\[[A-Z]+\])/","<br>\\1",$str);
$str = ereg_replace("(\[[A-Z]+\])","<br>\\1",$str);
e.g.:
<?php
$str = "[hi] there, this is me [HI] there, this is me";
print($str);
$str = preg_replace("/(\[[A-Z]+\])/","<br>\\1",$str);
//$str = ereg_replace("(\[[A-Z]+\])","<br>\\1",$str);
print("$str");
