Externally removing HTML tags within a page

[dougmcc1]

I have 2 files. One is pending.php and the other is process.php.

pending.php contains the string: <b>Page is pending</b>

How do I program process.php to remove that string on the click of a button? When I click the 'Authorize' button, I want it to take the string off of pending.php.

Thanks!

Read into this

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

something like this should work
<?
$pending_file=file('pending.php');
$pending_file=implode("\n",$pending_file);
$pending_file=str_replace('<b>Page is pending</b>','',$pending_file);
$handle = fopen('pending.php', 'w');
fwrite($handle, $pending_file);
fclose($handle);
?>
