    Why not just check and see if your forums software has built in support for it.

    the PEAR project has support for BBCode via the HTML_BBCodeParser. I've used it in some projects of mine and it works quite well.

    This is a good tutorial on how to use it.

    I wrote one once. If it's just for your personal use, they can be very simple.

    I haven't tried the PEAR parser, but you should learn regular expressions anyway. Granted, they make one's stomach turn at first sight, but they are not hard to learn.

    Did you check the FAQ thread? It has a link to this post about BBCode: http://vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=246913
