Plugin perfoming function of replacement variable?

[Borgs8472]

So I'm trying to develop some advanced bbcode functions (well alright, not that advanced ) which I would like to use non hard coded values in, e.g. vboptions[bburl]. I WON'T be using complex php arguments that can be security risks.

Obviously I could add a replacement variable to go with the release, replace *Borgs_hack_your_forum_path_here* with your forum path in the replacement variables, but that makes thinks slow to install. Plugins are faster.

How could I run a plugin to replace some text? I've been investigating str_replace without much joy, I guess it could be a global replace as if I keep the value unique enough it'll never clash with anything else.

Do any php coders know how to make a replacement variable into a plugin?

/me investigates str_replace further...

/me gives up and demands spoon-fed answers!

Borgs, go look at my Amazon mod and see if that helps you get started. In that one, I found any link to Amazon and replaced it with an appropriate affiliate link.
