TalkPHP - View Single Post - Please help with easy preg_replace problem

This should be easy, but I can't figure it out!

I want this to be replaced:

HTML Code:

[url="http://alink.com"]link text[/url]

with:

HTML Code:

<a href="http://alink.com">link text</a>

I currently have:

PHP Code:


			
$p = preg_replace ("/\[url=\"(.*)\"\](.*)\[\/url\]/", "<a href=\"$1\">$2</a>", $p);

But this isn't going through ALL of the links, but just the first one... Any ideas? I'm supposed to put a + at the end but I can't get it to work.
