I dont need to match the whole string, im just trying to test if the string has the

bbtag in it ...

ive tried if(eregi('

',$str))

but it fails to match the quote ..

Can anyone help me?

[Sayian]

that was supposed to be [.quote]

The board formatted it ...

I just need to test if the string contains [.quote]

without the . of course ..

Don't do an eregi... just do a strpos:

if(strpos(strtolower($str), '[quote]') !== false)
  echo 'Found the [quote] bbCode tag!!';

[edit]
Added the strtolower() to make it "case insensitive"

Yeah, if you're just looking for a plain quote tag, then use bpat's code. If you're looking to test if the string contains a plain quote tag OR a [ quote=username] type of tag, then here's an example:

if( preg_match('/\[quote.*?\]/i', $string) ) {
     // contains quote tag
} else {
     // doesn't contain quote tag
}
