how to remove all images with preg_repla

Anon

All,

I am trying to remove all images from a page using reg exp. Ihave been given a few examples, but they do not work. It mus be able to remove the following (example):

The closest i have gotten is:

$string = preg_replace("{<img( [a-z]+=[\"']?[^\"'][\"']?)( /)?>}i", "", $string);

But that is not quite right.

Any ideas?

dan,
even though html is not consistently well-formed, every tag itself still has a consistent form: it starts with "<" and ends with ">". so why not just look for an image tag, regardless of its content?

$string = preg_replace("/<img [^>]*>/i", "", $string);

Hi Dan,

This is a php working (for me) example using eregi_replace:

$string = "<table><tr><td><a href =\"http://www.php.net\" target=\"_new\"><img border=0 src=\"http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/pim/b/mailma1.gif\" width=250 height=34 alt=\"Yahoo! Mail\"></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href =\"http://www.php.net\" target=\"_new\"><img src=\"http://www.whatever.co.uk/us.yimg.com/i/us/pim/b/mailma1.jpeg\" width=\"250\" height=\"34\" alt=\"Wahoo! Mail\" border=\"0\"></a></td></tr></table>";
$pattern = "(<img)([[:space:][:alnum:](=\":/. !&\$\)+]+)>?";

$result = eregi_replace($pattern, "Image gone", $string);
echo "$result";

I hope it works for you. 😉
