You're lucky.  You don't have to strain your brain with Regex. :-)

<?php
  for ($i = 1; $i <= 30; $i++){
    $emoticon[] = '[emoticon' . sprintf("%02d", $i) . ']';
    $images[] = '/images/emot/' . sprintf("%02d", $i) . '.gif';
  }
  
  $str = "sometext sometext [emoticon01] sometext [emoticon23] sometext";
  echo str_replace($emoticons, $images, $str);
?>
