Need help with regular expressions.

[RadioGeek]

I need a little help here with string.

Consider if I have this HTML code:

Yak yak<p>

<table border=0 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td class=regular>blah blah blah</td></tr><tr><td class=something_else>some more of nothing</td></tr></table>

Yak yak<p>

How can I get rid of the table and all of its contents? I mean from the table open and close tag, and EVERYTHING inside it (including the text). I basically wish to erradicate the table.

strip_tags is great, but it leaves the text inside the tables intact.

Thanks!

The real regexp gurus should weigh in here, but I suspect something like:

$noTable = preg_replace("/<table.*<\\/table[^>]*>/", "", $str);

This assumes that you don't have nested <table>s.
