来自字符串的PHP Regex markdown

I have this string: "Download it from [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-admin/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-admin/)";

And i'm trying to convert this markdown to actual HTML, i tried getting the matches like so:

preg_match_all('/[(.*?)]((.*?))/', $data[$toProcess], $links);
debug($links);

Yet this..did not work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to convert this markdown into HTML.

ps. i'd rather not import the whole markdown library.

You need to escape the [, ], ( and ) as they are all regex meta-characters:

preg_match_all('/\[(.*?)\]\((.*?)\)/', $data[$toProcess], $links);
