Convert working eregi_replace to preg_replace

[kidrobot2008]

I need help converting the following working statement so it uses preg_replace instead.

 

$text = "I love PHP Freaks.";

$text = ' '. $text .' ';

$words = "PHP Freaks";

$link = "<a href=http://www.phpfreaks.com>PHP Freaks</a>";

$text = eregi_replace("([ ,\.\?!:\(\)\r\n\<\>])". preg_quote($words) ."([ ,\.\?!:\(\)\r\n\<\>])", "\\1". ($link) ."\\2", $text);

 

In the real deal $text is a paragraph of text and $words is a name.

 

Thanks in advance.

$text = preg_replace('/\b'. preg_quote($words) . '\b/', $link, $text);
