verify this preg_replace please

[scrupul0us]

i really suck at regular expressions

preg_replace('/[b]/','<b>',$description);
preg_replace('/[/b]/','</b>',$description);

should match something like:

[b]ANY TEXT[/b]

and make it:

<b>ANY TEXT</b>

[scrupul0us]

i also tried

preg_replace("#\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]#","<b>\\1</b>",$description);

but to no avail...

Why not just use str_replace()

$str = str_replace(array('[b]', '[/b]'), array('<b>', '</b>'), $description);

to yes avail.

worked like a charm!
