str_replace

Anyone know why the following doesn't work?

I have the following html

<a href="News/Story_Page/0,7760,718913,00.html" class=storyTitleLink> Johnson: It's up to us </a></div><div>Playmaker Andy Johnson believes the buck stops with Crystal Palace's players to resurrect the club's dwindling fortunes. <a href="/News/Story_Page/0,7760,718913,00.html" class=storyIndexLink>More...</a></div><hr class=storyIndexDiv width=80%>

I need to strip out the <hr> towards the end.

I am trying to do it like this

$printing[1] = str_replace("</div><hr class=storyIndexDiv width=80%>", "<br>", $printing[1])

and have used various permutations but str_replace doesn't want to get rid of the <hr> -

anyone help?

is the top quote block of yours an actual ECHO of the value of $printing[1] or just what you assume it should be?

Nope 🙁

maybe it's better if I post all the code 🙂

<?

exec("/usr/bin/wget -q http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/Team_News/0,1562,16,00.html -O /tmp/teamtalk.html");

$file = fopen("/tmp/teamtalk.html", "r");

$rf = fread($file, 20000);
$grab = eregi("<br><div class=topStoryIndexTitle>(.*)<center><form name=archive", $rf, $printing);
fclose($file);


$printing[1] = str_replace("/teamtalk", "http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk", $printing[1]);
//$printing[1] = str_replace("</div><hr", "<br>", $printing[1]);
$printing[1] = str_replace('</div><hr class=storyIndexDiv width=80%>', "<br>",$printing[1]);
echo $printing[1];

?>
