[SOLVED] preg_replace help

[dadamssg]

this is a pattern that matches "{b}whatever{/b}"

 

$regex = "#([{]b[}])(.*)([{]/b[}])#e";

 

how do i replace the {'s with brackets? trying to write some bulletin board code

 

so i want it to match "[ b ]whatever[ /b ]"...except without the spaces

[dadamssg]

nevermind..figured it out!

 

$regex = "#([\[]b[\]])(.*)([\[/]/b[\]])#e";
