$content = "... a bunch of text with some <!--protected-->protected
information<!--/protected--> with some more text with some more
<!--protected--><table><tr><td>more protected
text</td></tr></table><!--/protected--> and even <!--protected--><b>some
protected content>b><!--/protected-->";

I want to replace any content between these tags:
<!--protected--><!--/protected-->
with say

$replacewith = "<strong>protected content</strong>";


$content = " a bunch of text with some <strong>protected
content</strong> with some more text with some more <strong>protected
content</strong> and even <strong>protected content</strong>";

It's a little more involved than str_replace which is about the limit of
my knowledge.

Any takers - to take pity on me? I'm trying to figure out some funky
WordPress stuff as it is.

you need to read a bit on 'regular expressions'

http://www.gskinner.com/RegExr/ will be handy in crafting a suitable
regex to capture your 'tags'

Great. Ok. Thanks. [I'm a top quoter)]. I'll look at it.

This was my dirty way of hacking it:

if (($current_user->id == 0) && ($user_ID == 0))
{
$content = str_replace('<!--protected-->', '<b>Protected <!--', $content);
$content = str_replace('<!--/protected-->', '--> Content</b> <a
href="/wp-login.php">[Log in here</a>]', $content);
}

Cheap & Dirty and need refinement :p
