Try...

$string = 'asdfasdf[tag]hahahaha[/tag]asdfasdff';
$string = preg_replace( '/\[tag\]((.|\s)*?)\[\/tag\]/i', '', $string );

Thanks for your reply.

seems to only erase the [tag]s, not the [/tags] nor the text between 🙁

yah it works...

now only if could understand all that crap inside the ( ) so i can use it for my own code..

can you brake it down for me ?
'/[tag]((.|\s)*?)[\/tag]/i', all them /'s and \'s get my head lost.

thanks
