pregreplace & minor bbcoding

Ok, heres my deal.

Code:

echo '<tr align="center">';
foreach ($row as $key => $value) {
    if ($key == "id"){
    echo '<td bgcolor="'.$bg.'" ><a href="index.php?page=edit&id='.$value.'">'.$value.'</a></td>';
    }else{
        if ($key == "comment"){
            echo '<td bgcolor="'.$bg.'" width="25%" >'.$value.'</td>';}
                     else{echo '<td bgcolor="'.$bg.'" >'.$value.'</td>';
         }
    }
  }
    echo "</tr>";

query for above code

Quote:

sql ="SELECT id, username, email, first_name, last_name, nonprofit_date, packet1, packet2, comment
FROM users
WHERE level=1
ORDER by ".$order." ".$dir."
LIMIT ".$limit."
";

when i do this, my comment cell is a bunch of comments. each seperate comment is surrounded like bbcode [my comment1] [mycomment2]

what i need to do is take this part:

Code:

if ($key == "comment"){
            echo '<td bgcolor="'.$bg.'" width="25%" >'.$value.'</td>';}
                     else{echo '<td bgcolor="'.$bg.'" >'.$value.'</td>';
         }

and i need to parse out that indevidual if() statement, and make it parts out each [] and put it on a seperate line. i know i need to use a preg_replace. but preg_replace is so forigne to me... i can't figure out how to get it to work.

any suggestions?

oh. and if i can begin each comment with an asterisk * so my $value for $comment would be something like this....

$comment = "*unpaid amount due. *need to re-send fax sheet";

This should get you started.

p.s. im not the best at regex so im sure there is a quicker way.

PHP Code:


			
$string = '[bold]this will be turned bold hopefully[/bold]';
echo preg_replace('/\[bold\](.*)\[\/bold\]/is', '<b>\\1</b>', $string);
