Try using the perl regular expressions and setting the quantifier to
ungreedy
e.g. This should work.
$pat = "/<url>(.*)<\/url>/U";
$rep = "<A HREF='\\1'>\\1</A>";
$string = preg_replace($pat, $rep, $string);

It's still not working.
I'm using the pattern ([^<foo>]*) and I'm getting the first match correct,
but it's not getting all the other matches.
Thanks,
