$after = preg_replace(
"/<!-- BEGIN INSERT 1 -->\s*<!-- END INSERT 1 -->/",
"<!-- BEGIN INSERT 1 -->".$insert."<!-- END INSERT 1 -->",
$before);

a little more context might be helpful. it could be as easy as:
<!-- begin insert 1 -->
<?php echo 'text to be inserted'; ?>
<!-- end insert 1 -->
what are you trying to do?

Maybe just insert after first tag ?
$afterinsert = str_replace( "INSERT 1 -->" , "INSERT 1 -->\n".$toinsert , $beforeinsertion );
If you want to insert only when there are both tags, use preg_replace.
Comments
This will do the job. It's using substr_replace(). You can read more about it here.
<?php
$stringToInsert = "tesssst";
$oldString = "<!-- BEGIN INSERT 1 --><!-- END INSERT 1 -->";
$newString = substr_replace($oldString, "-->" . $stringToInsert . "<!--", strpos($oldString, "--><!--"), strlen($stringToInsert));
