ok for this 2:

$body = preg_replace('|\[\s*quote\s*\]|', '[quote]', $body);
$body = preg_replace('|\[\s*/\s*quote\s*\]|', '[/quote]', $body);

but have these next instructions the same result?

$body = eregi_replace("\[ *quote *\]", "[quote]", $body);
$body = eregi_replace("\[ */ *quote *\]", "[/quote]", $body);
