preg_replace $var['foo'] with $var[foo]

How can I remove the quotes in an array using preg_replace?
I want $var['foo'] to be $var[foo].

I assume this is some string representation of code going to eval somewhere? otherwise you are probably asking the wrong question. Do you want to replace all instances of ' or just those in [ ] ? Since there is no ambiguity in your expression I would suggest using str_replace, it's a lot faster.

mixed str_replace ( mixed $search, mixed $replace, mixed $subject [, int &$count] )


A bit more context as to what you are trying to do would help.

The problem is with my "Advanced BBCode" hack. It's that last post on the first page.
