eregi_replace problem

[Mad Hatter]

Hi

I'm having problems getting my head around eregi_replace. What I want to do
is allow users to enter links to their sites in a simple guest book. The
links can take either of 2 formats:-

http://www.nowhere.co.uk/apage.htm
which would display 'http://www.nowhere.co.uk/apage.htm' as the link text

or

click here which would
display 'click here' as a clickable link.

The first one I've managed to get working but I can't get my head around
the 2nd. Can anyone point be in the right direction please. I've looked and
looked at php.net but just can't make any sense of it :(

$url = 'click here';
$pattern = array('/\[\/url\]/i', '/\[url=/i', '/\]/i');
$replace = array('</a>', '<a href="', '">');

print preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $url);

//note: preg_* and not eregi_* used

Thanks, that worked a treat :)
