I am having trouble with the preg_replace function. Here is my idea of what to add to functions_bbcodeparse.php

// Media hack begin
<if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 1"> 
$string= "[MP3]song[/MP3]"; 
$pattern= "#\[mp3\](.*)\[/mp3\]#esiU"; 
$replace= "<b>You must be registered to view this</b>"; 
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $string);
</if>
// Media hack end

I know this is off, especially the $replace but hopefully this will give you an idea of what I am after, any help would be appreciated.

echo preg_replace("/\[mp3\](.*)\[\/mp3\]/esiU", $replace, $string);
