Thank you very much Jochem and John. It works like a charm now, and I was beginning to grow weary after experimenting with result sets for almost 10 hours now.
How would you - by the way - concatenate text to the replacement string?

alternatively (actually this looks like the easier way to do it!) use preg_replace(), with the 'e' modifier tagged onto the end of the replacement expression: the 'e' modifier causes the expression to be evaluated as PHP.

something like:
$pattern = '/\[link="([[:graph:]]+)"]/'; $replacement = "/check_this_out('\1')/e"; $output = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $output);
Good idea, except the "e" modifier goes in the pattern, not the replacement. And you don't need delimiters in the replacement.
$pattern = '/\[link="([[:graph:]]+)"]/e'; $replacement = "check_this_out('\1')"; $output = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $output);
