[PHP] preg help please :)

[Justin French]

Hi,

I have the following:

<?
$quote = "&#822[0|1]{1};";
$text = preg_replace(
        "/$quote(.*)$quote:$quote(.*)$quote/",
        "<a href='\\2'>\\1</a>",
        $text
        );
?>
It basically matches "link text":"url" with the added twist of having 
the quotes converted to &#8220; or &#8220; by a previous function.

It works fine if there is one link found inside a string, but falls 
over horribly if there's two links inside a string.

How can I improve the (.*) to exclude $quote ?

Thanks,
Justin French
