Question

I recently moved over my php based forum to a different version, one of the bbcodes needs to be slightly changed… so was hoping for some regex help to replace the existing bbcode.

I’m pretty bad with regex and was wondering if someone could help me come up with regex for preg_replace that I could use to replace the bbcode.

basically I need to wrap quotes around the existing display name.

from [quote=Display Name] to [quote="Display Name"]

Thanks in advanced!

The following appears to accomplish what you’re asking:

echo preg_replace('/\[quote=(.*?)\]/', '[quote="$1"]', $code);
