[RESOLVED] ereg for bb quote code

[PaPPy]

the problem i am having is when someone tries quoting 2 people at onece
like it should come out
but the function just takes the last found quote code and replaces it

<div class="quotebox"><i>Person1]blah.[/quote]

[quote=Person2 said:</i>blah.</div>

so instead of the code below, i guess i need something that replaces the first instance of quote and find the next /quote and then continue looking for other quoted text?

any help is appricated
thx
-PaPPy

function bbcode_quotes($str){
	ereg("\[quote=(.*)\](.*)\[/quote\]",$str,$reg);
	$newtext = "<br><div class=\"quotebox\"><i>{$reg[1]} said:</i><br>{$reg[2]}</div><br>";
	return str_replace($reg[0], $newtext, $str);
}

fixed with code

function bbcode_quotes($str){
    $strlist = explode("[/quote]", $str);
    $final = "";

foreach($strlist as $tmp)
{
    ereg("\[quote=(.*)\](.*)",$tmp,$reg);
    $newtext = "<br><div class=\"quotebox\"><i>{$reg[1]} said:</i><br>{$reg[2]}</div><br>";
    $final .= str_replace($reg[0], $newtext, $tmp);
$final .= "\n";
}
return $final;   
}

thx Syrie
