I was merely doing this to test to see whether the server could manage x amount of tags. apparently, it doesn't, and the thread, is now closed temporarily.

You're stupid I will give you that. Try anything like that again, test or not and we'll see your server wide banned.

NO server could handle 60 million preg_replace's like that, in a short time anyways..

Thats exactly what was said, and it wasn't 6,000,000 that was just a guesstimate, it couldn't have been over, say, 60,000 sorry

There is no SAFE way to limit it (well you could use preg_replace's limit option). It would also mean having to count how many tags there are in the post before that and that (so we can subtract the amount of tags in the post with those limited in a certain tag to have the remainder left) could also possibly kill it.

It's been looked in to before..

Also, even if i do implement some dodgy counting code for quotes, then I would have to do it with [ b] and every other bbcode tag..

how about scanning the post for a number of tags and when the limit is reached return an error to the poster, before it's submitted to the database?
