Oh, so '{POST_CODE}' is not the pattern? OK, sorry I didn't understand you
right. Seeking for positions of tags in a loop is a good approach too. I
don't know which of approaches will work faster, but it can be determined
by an experiment though. If you want to try re, here is an example for
your problem:

ereg_replace("(<!--ec1-->).*(<!--ec2-->)","\\1$repl\\2", $string);

"This function scans string for matches to pattern, then replaces the
matched text with replacement. The modified string is returned."

eregi_replace is the same but it's case insensitive.
