Brown pricee@hhbrown.comIs preg_replace() the best PHP command to use for parsing custom codes in text retrieved from a database (e.g., turning "[link= ]" into "<a href= >")?Use preg only if you need the power of regexes. If you are just looking to replace certain predefined strings with other strings, then you should use substr() it's faster.
