How do I replace keywords in PHPBB or IPB?

[I Report, You Decide]

Here is the feature I want to have:

If anyone typed "amazon", I will replace amazon with http://www.amazon.com
If anyone typed "best buy", I will replace "best buy" with

http://www.bestbuy.com

Can I do this in PhpBB or InvisionPowerBo ard?

What happens in I post "I really think this product is the best buy there
is" or "I won't be posting for a while. I'm going on a trip up the Amazon"?
I wouldn't want either of those posts to link to amazon.com or bestbuy.com.

IIRC phpBB allows users to post links via markup so I'd leave it to the user
to decide where any content they post links to.

With total disregard for any kind of safety measures "I Report,

You could probably use the word filter feature to do this in IPB.
