preg_replace help

[cac_azure03]

I'm writing a script in which I am using tags similar to those of Invisionboard, IkonBoard, etc. For example, b.../b (with brackets around them) is bold. Now, what I want to do is have a code.../code (with brackets) block in which all HTML tags between the 2 code tags to have their angle brackets changed to "<" and ">". I already know how to switch tags, but I can't think of a way to make it happen just between the code.../code tags. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there.

The code I'll post here is experimental, but I think I have the solution for you. Anyway please let me know.

<?php
if (preg_match("/<code>/",$text)) // I'm assuming $text as the text entered by the user
{
while(!(preg_match("/<\/code>",$text)))
{
preg_replace("/</","&lt;",$text);
preg_replace("/>/","&gt;",$text);
}
}
?>

Best regards,
