hi, thanks for the code. i tried. it only worked if the string is simply 
the one i wanna convert. but that particular string is in the middle of 
a long text, and there are multiple occurance, it won't.

however, i did manage to come up with this code that worked. but i 
believe it can be improved on. it will identify all occurance of the 
specified pattern and do the necessary replacement throughout the whole 
string.

preg_match_all("|\[::(.*)::\]|U", $longTxt, $matchedResult);
for ($idx = 0; $idx < count($matchedResult[1]); $idx++) {
        $extract = stripslashes($matchedResult[1][$idx]);
        $longTxt = str_replace("[::{$matchedResult[1][$idx]}::]", 
"\".$extract.\"", $longTxt);
}
