I have two questions about regular expressions in PHP.

#1:
What would the REGEXP for checking for [quote=someone]? I can do the replacing myself.

#2:
What would the REGEXP for checking for URLs and replacing them be? Here I need the replacing part too.

Any help would be very appreciated. :)

The easiest way would be to download phpBB and look at includes/bbcode.php.

<?PHP\n

    //[quote]
    $findq = "/[quote](.+?)[/quote]/si";
    $replq = "<br><div class=quote><font size=1 color=#888888><b>Quote:</b></font><br>$1</div>";
   //[quote=name] why was a dot not allowed in the name??
    $findqn = "/[quote=(.+?)](.+?)[/quote]/si";
    $replqn = "<br><div class=quote><font size=1 color=#888888><b>Quoted :: $1</b></font><br>$2</div>";

  //quotes must be done recursively
  while (preg_match($findq,$str)) {
    $str = preg_replace($findq,$replq,$str);
  }
  while (preg_match($findqn,$str)) {
    $str = preg_replace($findqn,$replqn,$str);
  }
\n?>

of course you'll need to escape the [s since they are reserved for character classes.

I'd also export much neater code if i were you, throw in some line breaks, indentation and valid markup =p

It doesn't work, and adding the escape characters doesn't do any difference! I get the errors "Warning: Unknown modifier 'q' in c:\program\easyphp\www\sbg\functions.php on line 138" and "Warning: Unknown modifier 'q' in c:\program\easyphp\www\sbg\functions.php on line 142" for every post in the thread.
Those lines are the lines where the two whiles start.
Quotes just show up as [ quote=someone ]something[ /quote ]. The same goes for [quote]-style quotes.

you needed to escape the / in
since you were using / as your delimiter. I always use ' cos it's neater and less likely to appear in a pattern, ie:
"'(.+?)'si"
