Hi guys, would appreciate if someone could help me out.

I'm working on a forum script, where a user's text is converted from
code to html.

I have made s start, and most functions are working. The problem I am
having is this:

If a user wants to put text into bold, they place it between
[B]and[/B]. In the last sentence the word and would be in bold. That
works fine. The problem I am having is if a user types it in twice for
example:

[B]I love[/B] php, it is [B]great[/B]!

It is converting it to (in html):

<b>I love[/B] php, it is [B]great</b>!

How can I change my code to make it appear as

<b>I love</b> php, it is <b>great</b>!

The code I am using is:

$itemtochange =
ereg_replace("$from1(.*)$from2","$to1\\1$to2",$itemtochange);

Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
