bbcode a href

oprpg

on my forums, I'm working on BBCode, and this is what I have:

$content = str_replace("[url=","<a href=",$content);
$content = str_replace("]",">",$content);
$content = str_replace("[/url]","</a>",$content);

It does kind of work, as it says the name inbetwen but never ends the link. for example, if it was (change x to u) [xrl=http://www.oprpg.com]OPRPG[/xrl], then it would say OPRPG and a have a link there but the link wouldnt stop at [/xrl]. Am I blinded by a simple HTML error or is it something in the PHP?

$content = str_replace("[url=","<a href=",$content); 
$content = str_replace("]",">",$content); 
$content = str_replace("[/url]","</a>",$content);

after your first pass it will look like this:

<a href="link...."]text[/url]

after your 2nd pass it will look like

see the problem??

either make your third pass

$content = str_replace("[/url>","</a>",$content);

or switch the order of your 2nd and 3rd pass
