How do I make my own BB Code?

I wanting to make my own BB code. I'm sure a lot you already know what that is but for example. Say I want to change this string here into a url:



$string = "http://example.com";



And turn that into:




<a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a>



What function do I use to do this with? preg_replace, str_replace?

And could someone give me a idea what are the simple ways of going about this?

Yes, preg_replace will do the job :D
