Replace character between strings

Maybe it's just too late for me to do this, but I'm trying to replace a character between 2 string with regex in PHP.

Example string:

other | text [tag]text|more text|and more[/tag] end | text

My goal is to replace | with <br/> between [tag] and [/tag].

Tried with this, seems it wasn't that easy though:

/<td>(\|)<td>/gsi

Searched a bit, but couldn't make out an answer with the stuff I found.

Hope you can help, thanks

First, find what's inside [tag]s, then find the pipes. PHP 5.3:

$result = preg_replace_callback('/\[tag\](.+?)\[\/tag\]/i', function($match) {
    return str_replace('|', '<br />', $match[1]);
}, $str);
