preg_replace question
Can a person use preg_replace to add tags around the first character in a string?

Something like $message = preg_replace(%, <big>%</big>, $message, 1); ?

I've never used this function so I'm not sure about what it can and cannot do. I know the syntax for that statement isn't correct, just out there so you know what I mean.

Its been a while since I played with PHP, but I believe you can do something like;

$message = preg_replace("/^([a-z]{,1}?)/i", "/<big>$1</big>/", $message);

Basically, its similar to how you would do it in Perl :)
