Thread: Regular expressions

I'm stumped working with regular expressions in php...I'm trying to convert the following:

[color=blue]

to:

<font color="blue">


and I've tried doing this in php:

Code:

$text = eregi_replace("\[color=+([[:alpha:]])+\]","<font color=\"\\1\">",$text);

which gave me:

<font color="e">

so....I'm stumped, as I don't know how to grab the string "red" from [color=red]....anyone here good with regular expressions? I've just started working with 'em today and I'm still trying to figure 'em out.
