preg_replace multiple times in same string

Question

I have a text and I want to do something like Wiki code, creating links with [[]] and stuffs.

I am using this preg_replace to do that, and it seems to work:

<?=preg_replace("/\{\{([^\*]+)\|([^\*]+)\|([^\*]+)\}\}/", "<a href='$1.php#$2'>$3</a>", $conditions['pattern']); ?>

The problem is that when I have this text "can[not] build at %{{types|location|location}}% %{{some|other|stuff}}%" it outputs this:

can[not] build at %<a href="types|location|location}}% %{{some.php#other">stuff</a>%

It's like only the last one gets replaced, but wrong.

Any idea? Thanks

Fixed!

I changed the regular expression to /\{\{([a-zA-Z]+)\|([a-zA-Z]+)\|([a-zA-Z ]+)\}\}/ and now it works :D
