<?php
function text2bbc($text){
    
$find = array(
        
'~\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]~s',
        
'~\[i\](.*?)\[/i\]~s',
        
'~\[u\](.*?)\[/u\]~s',
        
'~\[size=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/size\]~s',
        
'~\[color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/color\]~s'
    
);
    
$replace = array(
        
'<b>$1</b>',
        
'<i>$1</i>',
        
'<span style="text-decoration:underline;">$1</span>',
        
'<span style="font-size:$1px;">$2</span>',
        
'<span style="color:$1;">$2</span>'
    
);
    return 
preg_replace($find,$replace,$text);
}

echo 
text2bbc('this is some [b]bold text[/b] and this is [color=#FF0000]Red text[/color]');

'<br>';
