[Nottingham] PHP RegEx woes

[Christopher Joice]

I'm trying to do what I think should be a very simple find, crop, and
pad exercise in php.
What I want to do is this:

     1. Find a string which is surrounded by [[ and ]]
     2. replace [[ with <a href="foo.bar.co.uk/
     3. put in the string
     4. put in ">
     5. put in the string, again, so it shows up in the html output
     6. replace the ]] with </a>

I've got a regex which can do this, BUT it's a greedy little bugger so
only works if there is only one instance in the text, which just doesn't
happen.

$page['content'] = ereg_replace("\[\[(.*)]]",
		     '<a href="'.$site["url"].'/page/\\1">\\1</a>', $page['content']);

I've tried putting some ?s in there to try and make it lazy, but get
REG_BADRPT errors, so I must be putting it in the wrong place?

Any help appreciated, I've been going around in circles trying to work
this one out, and I've not found anything on the 'net that is of use.

Thanks,
Christopher Joice
