[SOLVED] Replace

[unidox]

I am trying to replace any html tags with [ or ]. I keep getting this error:

 

Warning: ereg_replace() [function.ereg-replace]: REG_EBRACK

 

in

function message($string) {

global $db_connect;

$string = ereg_replace("\'\";|`,", "", $string);

$string = ereg_replace("[(<", "[", $string);

$string = ereg_replace(")>]", "]", $string);

return $string;

}

 

Whats wrong

[DarkWater]

1) Why are you making your $db_connect available to the function...?

2) Why not just do:

$string = str_replace("<", "[", $string");

$string = str_replace(">", "]", $string");
