To use custom URL tags, so you can disallow the rest of the html tags (using htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities()), I wrote the following: $pattern = "/(\[URL=\\\\\")(.*?)(\\\\\"\])/i"; $replace = "<a href=\"\\2\">"; $String = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $String); $String = eregi_replace("(\[/URL\]){1}", "</a>", $String); this will replace [url="http://www.something.com"]Something.com[/url] with <a href="http://www.something.com">Something.com</a>
