eregi_replace

[marque]

Hi All,

I'm trying to remove from a string all occurences begining from with < and ending with >

Basically removing all html tags.

I figgure I should be writing an eregi_replace to remove it, but there is a serious lack of documentation on ereg_replace.

Can any one help?

And can anyone point me to somewhere I can get all the expressions for ereg functions?

Ta.

erm wouldn't strip_tags do the trick?

you can remove tags with strip_tags().
Also worth to have a look at htmlentities().

As for regexps,

i'm used to preg_* functions (they are supposed to be faster)

$text = preg_replace('/<.*?>/', '', $text);

In ereg_ it should be like

$text = ereg_replace('<.*?>', '', $text);
(or eregi_, doesn't matter). But maybe i have some minor syntax error here.

Hey cool,

You learn something new every day 🙂

I never knew strip_tags existed.

Thanks.
