The second parameter to preg_replace is the replacement string (with
optional backreferences), not another patern.
Use '/<p\>(.*)(?=<\/p>)/' for patern, '<a
href="edit_paragraph&text=$1"><p>$1' for replacement string, however,
this does not urlencode the text parameter. You can use
preg_replace_callback instead of preg_replace to encode it in the
callback function.
This won't work for long paragraphs because the lenght of GET request is
limited. Change it to use forms instead.
