With this function:

function bbcode_parse($str) {
$str = htmlentities($str);

$find = array(  
    '/\\*\*(.[^*]*)\*\*/is',
);

$replace = array(
    '<b>' 
);

$str = preg_replace($find, $replace, $str);  

return $str;
}

And with text "My name is **bob**"

I get in source code Hi my name is <b>

Been trying to get this to work for a while now.

Would appricate some expert help :)
