Note Submitter: odnowa-sql at o2 dot pl ---- I would like to inform you about a bug-like thingy which I've seen when trying to convert BBcode [url][/url] tags to HTML <a href=''></a> tag. This was my code: $vn = ereg_replace("\\[url=([^\[]*)\\]([^\[]*)\\[/url\\]","<a href='http://\\1'>\\2</a>",$vn); It looks a bit complicated, look closer at the following part of above line: [^\[] You will probably notice ONE backslash instead of two, but it really worked when I was trying to match everything except [ character. And the [^\\[] sequence did not work. So, when you are placing a negated bracket, escape it by ONE backslash.
