preg_replace strip [quote] tags and everything between them

[MisterCap]

I need to use preg_replace to change this:

[nobbc]

Hi I’m Kangol and I am new. I have just started. This is my second day. I’m having fun. By the way Snowman is an idiot.

Basically I need a regular expression that will remove the [nobbc]

[/nobbc] and everything between the quote tags.

Hi there,

Try this:
[php]preg_replace(’/([/)*[^]]+]/’,’’,$string);[/php]

[MisterCap]

That worked. Thanks very much.

Oops, not it does not. It takes out everything between [nobbc][/nobbc] as well, and more besides.

Okey doke, try this instead then:

[php]preg_replace(’/[quote(.*)[/quote]/is’,’’,$string);[/php]

Thanks again for the help, but this time I get:

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Unknown modifier ‘q’ on line 57

Change it to this:

'/\[quote(.*)\[\/quote\]/is'

[MisterCap]

That seems to work nicely. Thanks.
