I'm not the greatest with regular expressions however and can't seem to figure out what to do here. My attempt was:

PHP Code:

$text = preg_replace("/\[quote(.*)\[/quote\]/", "", text); 


Which did not work. Can anybody offer the correct regular expression? Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried it, but in the pattern you have you used / as the delimiter and there's a / in the pattern you're trying to match, so maybe choose another character for the delimiter.

ETA: like this:

PHP Code:

$text = preg_replace("#\[quote(.*)\[/quote\]#", "", text);
