PROS! Help with preg_replace?

[brianb]

hello people,

I need to get rid of some extraneous stuff being pulled from another site before it goes into my database.

For instance, in this HTML:

     <Feature>Color</Feature>

How would I turn the <Feature> into nothing, and the </Feature> into a comma then a space?

Just as well, how would I change this:

&#149;

into nothing?

Why not use str_replace? str_replace works with plain strings, no regular expressions, so it should be straight-forward.

Yup your right. preg_replace is more perl and good for regex. str_replace you can look up text or such from a string and change it

basic

string str_replace(word,replacement,string);
