Youtube BBcode

[reaper]

Ok i have built a custom news script for my site that uses BBcode. I would like to be able to embed youtube videos using the following
"[youtube]Youtube link here[/youtube]" but for some reason i can't get it to work. Here is an example of how i am doing my BBcode so if any one can edit this to work as a youtube BBcode that would be great!

$data = str_replace("[big]", "<h1>", $data);
$data = str_replace("[/big]", "</h1>", $data);

You could just str_replace with arrays to make the conversions much easier --

$toReplace = array("<h1>", "</h1>");
$toBeReplaced = array('[youtube]', '[/youtube]'); //Note the double-slash

$newphrase = str_replace($toReplace, $toBeReplaced, $data);

Your example should work perfectly, but what's provided above will allow you to use a single call with an array to function rather than nesting potentially hundreds of calls to str_replace.
