Convert [b][/b] to <b></b>

[Dysan]

Hi,

I have a textbox within a form, that contains the following:

[ b ]This is bold text[ /b ]

Upon submitting the form, how do I convert the [ b ] tags into <b></b> tags, to display all the text bold? - Like below?

This is bold text

[scragar]

$str = preg_replace("/\[b\](..*?)\[\/b\]/", "<strong>\\1</strong>", $str);

untested.

How would I retrieve the data from a textbox. e.g. "This text is bold"
