http://php.net/str_replace if you're just replacing a static string, this will be faster and easier...only use regex's when you really need them

I just want to replace a string with another, but I have problems, when the string contains a [ or something similar. I just need a method to replace "[cool]" with "text". When I use: $mustbereplaced = "[cool]"; $message = preg_replace("/$mustbereplaced/", "hello", $message); only cool will be replaced with hello, but the [ and ] is still there. When I use $message = preg_replace("/$mustbereplaced/e", "hello", $message); nothing happens. What must I change, that EVERY string will be replaced? Hope someone can help me, W.
