An Easier way

[Anon]

hi phpeeps!

I've just done a script that deletes anything in a string between two points in this case <script> and </script>.

it goes:
<?
$start = strpos($string, '<script>');
$end = strpos($string, '</script>');
$length = $end - $start;
$dele = substr($string, $start, $length);
$final = str_replace($dele, " ", $string);
echo $final;
?>
I was thinking there got to be a better way to do this and also how can i make it go through several time until all the script tags are removed?

thanks

take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php
maybe it will help
dunno :o)

Here's a sample of one way to do it.

while(stristr($string, "<script>"))
{
$string = preg_replace("/(^{.?)<script>.?<\/script>(.*$)/msi",} "\1\2", $string);
}

The strip-tags function might also help you out.
