<option blah blah>keethisonlytextonly</option>

Hello,
I want to clean optain tage code. Here is one example
I want to Keep only the text between option tag.
So, for the following text it would be left only

"England-> Avon"

<option value="England &gt; Avon">England-> Avon</option>

I just want to keep mytext

<option value="whatever">mytext</option>

Thanks.

So ditch the values. Or change them...

[Tanus]

<select name="selectName">
<option value="0">England > Avon</option>
<option value="1">Avon > England</option>
</select>

On the server, when you go through and check the option box;

$optionValues[0] = "England > Avon";
$optionValues[1] = "Avon > England";

$selected = $optionValues[$_REQUEST["selectName"]];

Something like that should work. (is that what you're even after?)

Edit: Just understood what you're after: As said above, if you just remove the value="" attribute, then the stuff in the tag will be sent as the value.

Thank u guys for the reply
I just found the solution. Actually i was after the following code

 $data=preg_replace("'<option [^>]*?>'si", "",$data);
   $data=str_replace("</option>"," ",$data);
