If you want to deal with nested tags then it's probably best to replace each
opening and closing tag individually. Otherwise you might end up with some
fiendishly complicated regex.
Did I say I preferred the PCRE functions to the EREG ones?
Well using preg_replace() you can put all your search strings in one array and
all the corresponding replacement strings in another and it'll replace all
those tags for you in a single operation:
$text = '[i]This[/i] is a [i]test[/i].';
$search_for_tags = array("/\[i\]/", "/\[\/i\]/");
$replace_with_tags = array("<i>", "</i>");
$text = preg_replace($search_for_tags, $replace_with_tags, $text);
print $text;
